There is so much snow right now, we just had to get out our cross country skis and head for what used to be our favorite sno-park at Huckleberry Creek.
 |
| Plenty of snow, even in the parking lot. Also, some ice under the snow. |
 |
| Hitting the trail |
 |
| The first of sixteen big blowdowns |
 |
| I'm standing on about six feet of snow here |
 |
| See our ski tracks in all that snow? |
 |
| Forging ahead |
 |
| A peek at Huckleberry Creek |
 |
| Forging way ahead |
 |
| First failed lunch stop attempt, too deep. |
 |
| Backtracking to find a compressed snow spot to stop on the road |
 |
| My skis and poles await while we sit in the snow for lunch |
 |
| More blowdowns to navigate on our way out |
 |
| This last big blowdown on the way out was so big, we had to take off our skis and carry them across. |
|
Stats:
Roundtrip=about 9 miles
Elevation gain=about 800 feet
