In early March I joined a university-led snowshoeing field trip to the Uinta mountains—and my fever was cured! <br />I took up snowshoeing and never looked back. <br />It's SO easy just to stay inside after a snowstorm though, so I understand your lapse. I hope you're able to enjoy some fun in the snow (when you're in Craig, that is) this winter.One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-54816989655837442202018-02-03T09:46:59.345-08:002018-02-03T09:46:59.345-08:00You caught my feelings about winter perfectly, Rit...You caught my feelings about winter perfectly, Rita. I, too, have lost the sense of magic that used to accompany a big snow when I was young and, instead, fret about the work and pitfalls it presents. I needed this post. When I first moved to Craig, a friend told me that if I were to be happy during Craig's long winters, I would need to find a way to play in the snow. She was so right, and her comment caused me to take up cross country skiing and snowshoeing, both of which I've let lapse the last couple of winters. I need to remedy that.aunt beulahhttp://www.auntbeulah.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-54053125132845535642018-01-31T19:37:01.269-08:002018-01-31T19:37:01.269-08:00I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this winter...I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this winter post!<br /><br />And, you're welcome, John.

Loved it! <br /><br />I especially was taken with your statement that reads: “With the right clothing and the right attitude winter's wonders are every bit as amazing to this adult, as to the wide-eyed kid she once was.”<br /><br />And regarding your photos, all are beautiful and inspiring. There are three images that I particularly admire which are entitled: “A picture-perfect winter day”; “Sunset over the Continental Divide”; and “Farewell to another day of winter action and adventure”.<br /><br />Last, but by no means least, thank so much for including a link to my blog in your posting. I have returned the favor by updating my blog to include a link to your blog posting about winter!<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-47704848349329190582018-01-30T20:55:17.308-08:002018-01-30T20:55:17.308-08:00Yes, we had lots of fun on this mini-vacation!
