Winter Fun

I feel the need once again to break up the Kayson posts, while they are entertaining a change of scenery is always good.My Dad and I went on a snowmobile ride last week. The weather and the snow was pretty good. We left from the farm in Station Creek and rode to Franklin Basin via Worm Creek Basin, then made the loop around Bloomington and back home. It always makes me smile when I see the convoys of would be snowmobiler's trucking up the canyon when I can set out right from the farm, go anywhere they can, and be home by lunch time without ever loading a sled on a trailer.

Last week I also decided to see just how old and fat I really am. I snowshoed from the Richmond gun range to the top of City Creek, and then snowboarded back down. This Picture was taken at lunch time at about the half way point.
This picture was taken at a cookie break. I am almost to the top, Cherry peak is in the background. Unfortunately my camera battery died and this was the last picture of the day so you will have to take my word for it that I made it to the top because I don't think I will be doing it again anytime soon.........5 hours to the top, and 40 Minutes of great powder to the bottom.
