Snowshoeing, Chena Lakes    

My friend Caroline and I headed out to Chena Lakes for a short snowshoeing adventure on Saturday after Thanksgiving.  Considering we had plans to clean the snow and cover the top of my RV with a tarp prior to this and I’m still getting over a cough I’ve had for two and a half weeks , I’m surprised I lasted for the hour we were out there.  It was a nice opportunity to stretch out our legs and backs after shoveling snow off the top of the RV for an hour and due to deeper snow and not very well-traveled trails, we also got to work out our lower abs picking up the showshoes out of the deep snow.

Looking forward to getting back next weekend for a longer hike……

This was taken the week before it snowed for a week solid, so there was twice this amount of snow to be cleared before we could go snowshoeing.
