Snowshoeing....while you can in the California Snow!

Life has been busy! Haven't had a chance to write about many adventures. However, I did have the chance to get up to Huntington Lake and do some snowshoeing in the fresh powder. I hiked about 9+ miles and it is quite the work. Snowshoeing takes a good deal of energy and coordination, and for a first time user, a bit of practice is a good thing-I learned many years ago to "shuffle step" rather than lift your knees high. By doing this, you will save strength, stamina and muscle aches.

and yes, my wife DID make me that beanie! Thanks for noticing!
