Good Cold Fun

Hey, speaking of cold, we had a great time snowshoeing in Oregon last weekend. This was taken at Trillium Lake.

(And if I learned one thing from the Wikipedia entry on the lake that I just linked to, it's that we're going to have to go back in the summer, because it looks amazing!)

Now it wasn't actually that cold (for me, at least), so the snow was more crunchy than fluffy, at least at this altitude. But we still had a nice time trying out the shoes and catching up with Ismail and Kari, who were, as always, gracious hosts.

Here I am showing off the bottom of the shoe:


But Emily, of course, really rocked the shoes:

This last was taken higher up, in one of the recreation areas on Mt Hood. Beautiful hike, and better snow. All in all, I'd call it a win.
