sleeping in the snow

weekend.  time for another adventure.  i'd been jonesing for some winter camping, so time to make it happen.  rory from house of hawes came out from the coast to join kris and mary and i on the lifelong quest to be awesome.

we headed out to a lost little lake around noon, snowshoed in and within an hour had a 4 foot deep hole dug out and a sweet tarp fort built for four. 

tarp fort for 4.  deep enough snow to stand up inside once it was dug out.

sunday snow shoe

sunday i strapped on the snowshoes again.  this time with my awesome wife christine.  we headed up to soverign lake in silver star to make some tracks.  took some new trails and some old ones.  it was -4 and foggy and a bit clear and totally awesome.   look.

snowshoe saturday

saturday.  there is lots of snow!  we got over 2 feet in our driveway this week.  that means some epic snow up higher.  time to check it our from the decks of snowshoes.  kris, mary and i took off in truck 3 and made a bee-line for a little lake up in the hills.

making our way across the lake.

last weekend of fishing without an auger

remembrance day. that means, remember to go fishing and stuff.  6 of us headed up to one of our favourite spots to visit jordie and make the most of the last weekend before freeze up.

we didn't waste much time on the way up.   the only stop was the lookout, and that's never a waste.
