Snowshoeing after a snow storm with fun seekers is not for Sissy's. 
You have to be able to endure laughing until your stomach hurts.
Crawling in picnic table caves, cause you were dared!

 A lot of sweating, sorry girls!  Snowshoeing is for buff outdoor enthusiasts.
Jumping off cliffs for the camera!


 Depend on your family and friends, cause there are moose in these here woods!
And it is just fun to hang out with these guys!
  

                                                      
   Forge a path through waist deep powder, up steep hills!
Wander through beautiful forests!



Jump streams without falling in!
And crossing sink holes, hoping the sides will hold and you don't fall through.
Thank you Jamie, Adam, Morgan, Chase and Kim.
This was a great day!

Tree Down!
The neighbors 75ft tall tree blew down in the high winds we had.
I was in the barn and didn't hear it fall, but Dave was in in his house and he did.  It made quite the noise he said.  We thought the tree would be about 70 years old, but counting the rings, it was only 35 years old.


We were blessed.  It is like the tree was guided down between my house and the aspen tree.  Plus the roots were over Dave's gas line.  It didn't dislodge the gas line or tear up his foundation.  A scratch or two on the roof and flashing was the only damage.  Dave, Kevin, Jamie and Adam had it cut up and cleaned up in a couple of hours.
