Had a lovely snowshoe today on FR181 from the twin water tanks. When I started, I felt like pounding up the trail to work out some of my frustrations, due to cabin fever from the past few days of not getting out on the trail, but the up part quickly subdued me!
I enjoy breaking trail, though, if it's not too deep. My MSR Denali snowshoes are short and thus don't have much flotation so I flounder in deep snow. This was utterly perfect snow with a beautifully sunny day and blue skies. I was entranced by shadows cast on the snow by grass, pine needles and cones.
It was nice to have time today after the snowshoe to shop at Smith's. I bought olives, hummous, eggplant spread, frozen oj concentrate, bananas, green onions and pomegranates. After supper, I mushed my face in a pomegranate, greedily gulping crimson seeds - yum!
