Last weekend was the 2008 Mt. Rainer snowshoeing expedition. When I say “expedition” its the kind that involves cable TV, a bbq, hot tub & twice as much food as needed. This year it was Harmony, Bo, Chelsie, John, Alex & the dogs. (Cosgrove, Hunter, Imola, Monza)
Saturday we headed up to Paradise. The road to the top was pretty nasty bun not nearly as bad as the weather that was waiting for us. We headed right into a blizzard. It was snowing, blowing & freezing. The snowshoes went on and we headed out for a .5 mile adventure. We decided to turn around when we realized we couldn’t see anything & our faces were numb.
Saturday night we had meat-a- palozza. John had brought a few cases of steaks for the bbg & after a mile of snowshoeing we were hungry.
All weekend the dogs had to different speeds…sound asleep or completely crazy.
Sunday it was off to the Wonderland trail, we really upped our mileage from the previous day. Somehow we managed to get in three miles round trip. Cut is some slack, there were playoff football games to watch and a TON of food to eat.
