This is a view of Pagosa Peak from a vantage point I obtained by snowshoeing with the San Juan Outdoor Club on Saturday. We drove about 6 miles up to the 40 acre tree farm of some of the members, Ron & Windsor, and played in the snow. Some cross country skied and others, including myself, snowshoed. Everybody brought food and drink. We had a wonderful chimenea type fire with hot cider and a little Jim Beam if we were so inclined. I learned something new. . .


Don't walk backwards in snowshoes, at least, in these type of snowshoes! I learned something else. . .


It ain't that easy to get up once you've gone down in those things!


Ah, this is more like it. This is what I looked like all the rest of the time. Really! Completely in control. And speaking of "in control". . .


Check out this snowshoeing chica in control! There's no stopping her now, folks!
