With the snow in town on the low side, and another unseasonably warm day predicted, the pack thought a good place to go for a ski would be at
Courtney Lake which is at a higher elevation and gets more snow.
 |
| Gromit! We camped here this fall. |
 |
Ya Wally, they used to groom this for skiing.
We'd guess Jim will again this year. Let us know Jim! |
 |
| We were so glad for the good snow depth here! |
 |
| We admired the little balsam, holding up under the big snow load. |
 |
| Me and Wally led the way, as usual. |
 |
| Seems like March, not December. |
 |
Ya Gromit!
I don't remember seeing the sun much at all, last December. |
 |
| It got to 47 today, according to the thermometer in the dog truck. |
 |
Out in the sun exposed area, the 2-leggeds were complaining
that the snow was sticky. It was no problem for all-paw drive, |
 |
| We're just so glad to be out romping around on this fine winter day! |
 |
| Hunting was good, as usual. |
 |
After a lunch break, we headed out for more adventure.
We stayed off the lake, since there was no life guard on duty. |
 |
| Long shadows at mid-day show that the solstice will soon be upon us. |
 |
| We spied some grouse tracks. We saw several, too. |
 |
| OK, let's head east to Six Mile Lake. |
 |
Old foundation or a swimming pool? You decide...
Ya that's Six Mile Lake in the distance. |
 |
Interestingly, there's an old burned out tree here,
must be a white pine or hemlock. |
 |
| Snow depth was much shallower here, under the hemlocks. |
 |
"Tree Pee" - almost never seen this time of year!
It's from a yellow birch limb over the trail. |
 |
After we got back to town, as a special
treat, we got to stop at our favorite store!
Someone recently chewed up his bed and
for some reason Sandy thought it should be replaced. |
 |
| Hey! Let's tussle. |
 |
| OK! We all hope to come back here soon. |
