We didn't take pictures, but we certainly had fun. This Saturday Mom, Dad, and I went up the Warm Springs Creek trail and tromped through a fresh layer of fallen snow. We tripped over our snow shoes trying to dump snow from the low branches of the trees onto each others' heads and determined that snow shoeing seems to be a better workout than cross country skiing.
Although, as Mom pointed out, when your headed down hill on cross country skiis, it is often an exercise in adrenaline. Toward the end of our tromp in the mountains the snow on the tops of the trees started to slide off and we were surrounded by cascades of falling snow. Beautiful!
I'm not looking forward to snow on the roads as I return to Thompson Falls, but I'm hopeful that there might be enough snow there to see if the Mule Pasture trail (where I've gone running on occasion) is any good on cross country skiis.

Fun! You described your adventure so well I can just picture you all there! I am Jealous!
Let me know how the trail works on cross country skis.
There's absolutely no snow in Thompson Falls...I guess cross country skiing will have to wait for a while.
