When my snowshoes arrived, I couldn't believe I found something for me to wear that actually dwarfed the size of my head. After that first note of happiness, I also noted that the steel teeth on the bottom of said snowshoes were bada@@. These far above my mental image of tennis rackets strapped to my shoes or boots. These could tear up some stuff (like the inside of the box they came in, for instance).
Now for some snow.
Nearly all the mountains around here have a dusting of snow but it has not come down to sea level yet. Word is that it will snow down here tomorrow.
Liz and I hiked Mt. Dewey again yesterday. We had the day off for Veteran's Day and celebrated it by liberating her dog Burton to hike up and down the mountain. It's not a terribly hard boardwalk trail, and with Burton keeping us moving, we made it up in 12 short minutes. You can click here for pictures from our time together, as well as other hiking trips. Those pictures are roughly on the bottom third of the page.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing, doing laundry and cleaning up the apartment. A few weeks ago, Adam, Sarah and Liz all helped me paint my apartment a delightfully beige color named Nation and another reddish color for an accent wall in the bathroom. I will post more pictures once I finish taking them of the entryway and have a bit more bandwidth to spare. That's one thing I don't like about rural Alaska...internet data caps!
