I left you last time with news of snow, and it continued until just after lunch. It was so beautiful and I decided to go hiking on a trail that begins right near my trailer. Hiking alone isnt suggested, but I aint sittin in the trailer all day either. I was also hiking in an area where there have been grizzly spottings. But luckily, just as I began my hike, I heard people coming up behind me, and it was my boss and others taking the horses out for a test run. Although i didnt get to ride, I just let them pass and fell in line with them. It worked out for the best because with the hard snow it would have been hard to tell where to go. But I ended up coming back after a few hours, as they were having to work the kinks out with the horses. It was so cool to hike out in the woods in such a hard snow. And yes Mallorie, I had enough clothes. Thank god I got a waterproof camera because it has come in handy for some good shots. I was soaking wet when I returned, and worse yet, my boots, those warm ones i always wear hunting, I guess I've about worn them out because they arent as waterproof as they use to be. And Mom and Mal will be happy to know that I have been using my bear bell when hiking by myself. I'm about to go for a run, then it will be time to get ready for the party.....FREE FOOD!
This is where a little stream feeds into a small lake, and this is the the folks riding horses, with Georgia the mule bringing up the rear.
Later.

I appreciate the picture of you! Glad you took the water resistant hat as well....anyway - don't forget to check your email as you're updating the blog. :)
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden (1854)
