Sunday Snowshoe





After watching the Cincinnati Bengals win today moving their record to 8-3, my wife and I went for a snowshoe up Stoney Creek. This is a great snowshoe that lasts about 45 minutes. It starts off with a pretty big climb (don't be intimidated) then levels off to an area with nice views before dropping back down and winding through the forest. This too is a great one if you are at The Club at Spanish Peaks as it is on the boarder of Spring Creek Reserve only a few miles from the Clubhouse. My photos didn't turn out very well but you get the idea. Nice way to spend an hour before watching the evening football game on Sunday. If anyone needs directions just let me know or who knows, maybe we will see you on the trail!

Let it snow...




After waking up to 12 more inches of fresh powder today I find myself excited about the ski season that is almost upon us. Big Sky reported they have as much snow on the mountain this early in the year as they can ever remember. There has even been a whisper of opening the tram and Liberty Bowl on Turkey Day this year! See you on the slopes.

Hunting Season 2009

I continue to be amazed by the elk species, their wit and ability to vanish into thin air. Many hours of hiking this season resulted in only a few elk spotted and no shots fired. Several gorgeous miles of terrain hiked with several breath taking sunrises and sunsets. The kind that make you truly appreciate the vastness and tranquility of Montana. Numerous hours of laughing with my hunting buddies, telling stories, and sharing future plans. Even though our freezers won’t be full of meat this winter we still had great times and I am already looking forward to next years hunt.
