I've only been on snowshoes and that EXACTLY 40 years ago while I was in Survival School in Spokane, WA. The students had giant, POS wooden snowshoes that were held together with rotten shoestrings, while the instructors had new, light-weight aluminum ones. It was a miserable, cold week in the mountains for a FL boy, but it was a great time. I've got pics somewhere in a box...
That was the ROTC "butter-bar's" stuff. I was a redneck country boy buck sergeant and our flight leader, an HH-53 pilot/1st Lt, listened to my suggestions over the clueless n00b's every single time. That guy couldn't find his own pecker with a map, a compass, a Sherpa and a pair of tweezers. 🤣
That’s funny Nemo. In my utes I went to golden Colorado to work for the summer. Hadn’t started yet so a buddy took us to A Basin first of June to ski, record snow year, took my shirt off and got fried.
I don’t see no tracks
ReplyDeleteThat’s better, my standard reply is pictures or it didn’t happen
DeleteFresh snow , no one has been out here since the storm. It’s still deep, no melting due to single digits.

I snowshoe a lot in Upstate New York. Mainly because my Electric Car Batteries are frozen and dead. Thank you Gov. Hochul.

ReplyDeleteI marked timber in the survival school area in the Colville forest.
DeleteI found your 2-quart canteen and Motorola radio up there 23 years ago, just letting you know now.

DeleteYeah, no. I wouldn't live in a place that it snowed like that.
