Yurt movie!

It took me awhile, but here's a link to the Clark Peak Yurt video i finally finished. A time sink to make these vids, but i have to say it's pretty freakin fun to watch the final product. Enjoy...

Spring dumps, dawn patrol

Can't find many words lately, SO tired from moving and fencing and cleaning up the property. I was able to sneak out on two dawn patrols the day after the latest two storms, Friday the 10th and then last Thursday where we got over 8" of new snow from both storms. Spectacular way to spend the 6-8am hours! The silence of the snow always blows me away...you can't hear a sound except for your own breath. Here are a few pics from the first day out. The second day was dumping still and I forgot my camera!

The skin up at 7am, trying to find the fastest way up - which is straight up!

The skin track looks like a snow centipede to me...crawling up the hill.

Down and on to work now...

A week helping Mom at home in Marin, then back on Saturday and left on Sunday for the Clark Peak Yurt up in Colorado State Forest State Park (north of Cameron Pass 2 hours west of Ft. Collins), and now moving to the new house and catching up on work.
