29 Dec 2008 - Snowshoe day

The past two days, we have gone snowshoeing. Yesterday, we snowshoed across the valley behind the Three Peaks golf course. We almost made it to the top of the ridge but Helen's feet got cold. Today, she used her heaters from her ski boots and we hiked to the top of a ridge near Acorn Creek about 11 miles north of Silverthorne. Both days, we had clear blue sky and no wind. Today the snow got heavy as we hiked back down.
