Lake Shore adventures with Mark's gang!

On Sunday we ran (the 2 leggeds skied) along the snow from Connie's house to see the ice caves made there this winter.

Here we go!

This ice was blue!

I'm always waiting on those slow pokes.

Ya this is the only time I ever get touched.

It was hot, at 46.

Me and Bella got to tussle a little.

This is Jacobsville sand stone.

With it being a wet fall, the water really
poured down the cliffs.

Whole lotta rompin' going on!

I'm glad the tree didn't fall on us! 
How can it stay up there?

The 2-leggeds were sharing snacks.

I'm in my glory! Although, it is kinda hot.

C'mon Judy, it's cooler up here!

Jumping up here was a scary feat!

OK, I'll pose for everyone.

Whew! Thank goodness I didn't die!

More cooling.

Now we start heading back to Connie & Larry's.

We explored an ice cave on the way.

I was glad Margo lead the way!
Bella was fearless, as usual.

Mark got a few snapshots too.

Here's another one.

Are we going in Obie?  I'm kind'a scared....

Ya this is scary,, so I'll stay close to Judy.

I'm getting out of here before the whole thing falls apart!

A snowman appeared mysteriously when we skied back...

He was decapitated! Bella didn't care,
she only knew she wanted that itchy harness off!

Nara trails Pilgrim River Romp

On Saturday afternoon we headed down to my favorite Back County ski area, the Pilgrim River bottom and we bounded upstream.  

The rest of my pack doesn't have all-paw drive and used skis. 

See how the snow tumbled down the river bank?   I might be swimming here in just a month!

I found an adventure log to cross the river at.

Oh, maybe this is scary for a conservative dog!

Ya but it's SO pretty here.  I see someone was skiing on the river. That's brave!

 

You're not following so I'm coming back!

 

We sure had a nice little adventure in the woods and along the river.

Blustery day for the 6th Annual Glide 'N Gorge!

  On Sunday, February 23rd was KNSC's 6th annual FUNd raiser, the Glide 'N Gorge. Friendly people and skiing makes it my favorite!

It was a blustery day but me and lots of skiers showed up
for the G-N-G!

The banner almost got buried in drifted snow.

 

At the Hors d'oeuvre station. 
Wayne, Sue, Fran, and Don were our hosts.

Fran testing out Don's heater.

Karen says, hate to eat and run....I mean ski...but I gotta go!

Do you know that I love fire-roasted hot dogs?

One of the littler Gliders.

Sue helped keep the plates full.

Ski ya later!

Next me and Sandy skied down to the soup station.

There were lots of friendly people warming their outsides
by the fire...

....and their insides with soups.

I even found some vittles lying around to munch on.

Lotsa stoves...lotsa pots. MMMMMM!
We could smell it from the dam!

I like roasted marshmallow too, ya know.

Here our hosts were George, Jay, Lisa, and Spencer.

Scott & Sarah had a great little glide in the gorge today.

Last, we all hit the chalet for yummy desserts. MMMMMMM!

Jeanne and Eileen made sure we all had a chance
to sample everything.

Rhythm 203 performed again...Kathy conducted.

Sue Ellen, Phyllis, and Norm livened the chalet up!

I sought out good ear-scratching candidates...

Margo was the best!

Snow photos! Ya we got some.

You should know by now, I'm all about snow! 

Here Arly is grooming across The Middle Bridge in Swedetown gorge.

This also is the Middle Bridge. We'll be replacing it this fall. 
I'll be helping with that project, so I hope to see you there as well!

More recent bridge photos.

At the chalet.  Can you see its roof in the center?

The chalet door.  I had to jump in.
It's been a good year for drifting!
