Winter Training 2010

This adventure was the result of a much-appreciated phone call from Hal Black
who invited a certain member of the family to join in a bear denning trip in February.

Wind Cave Trail 16 January 2010


At least it wasn't muddy like 3 years ago!
Instead we hiked along some patches of ice-covered trail.


Yuki came too, since she is a much-neglected dog during the busy weeks.


Megan, April, and Yuki pulled ahead of everyone else
and made it to the cave just as the light was beginning to fade.




They met up with Ian on the way down.
He wanted to explore some alcoves along the trail.



Kevin, Erin, and Dallin returned to the car after hiking part of the way.

Dallin needed to get warm in spite of his multi-layered clothing, fleece, mittens,
and stylish duct-taped boots
(his feet are still too small for the smallest boots we have).


The other half of the family returned in the dark, tired, but happy.
Next time we will leave before 4:00 p.m. and put hand warmers in
Dallin's boots.

Fun! Dallin looks like a pretty happy camper despite having no handwarmers in his boots. :) Hope all is well!
