 Just wanted to post a couple photos from snowshoeing back on the 11th of March. I went with my friends Ron, Stacy, and Margaret up to Trillium Lake on Mt. Hood. It was an awesome experience for being my first time snowshoeing. The snow was great. The weather was great (at least in the morning when we were out there). The exercise was great. Really an all-around fun experience.
 I think we went about 5 miles, which took us a bit more than 2 hours, before heading up to Timberline Lodge (yes, the lodge from the movie “The Shining”) for some warmth, food, and drinks (cocoa for me!). The weather had turned yucky by the time we were ready to leave. Decided to forgo putting the chains on the truck and slowly trudged down the road with only about 20 feet of visibility. We stopped at the Zig Zag Inn (in Zig Zag, right on Highway 26) for dinner. The warmth and full tummy finally set in and I got pretty tired. I was so exhausted when we finally headed home that I had to switch off the driving with Ron. I snoozed in the passenger seat back down the mountain and into town. The exhaustion did cure my jetlag (finally!) and got me back on schedule…I’ll have to remember this technique whenever I’m in my next bout of jetlag. Snowshoeing is definitely something I plan to do again soon.
