Me Again

Rudy heard that people enjoyed his "turnaround woo" on the trails yesterday. Well, he has a woo for EVERY occasion, believe me!

"Woooo! I have one for EVERY occasion!" declares wooing Rudy.

As you see in the prior photo, we spent some time skijoring up, down and around Sally Barber Mine this morning. But, before touring the mine, we first went off trail to skijor the great spring crust that is still solid atop French Creek! With warming spring temperatures, we got an early start as the sun was just starting to rise over the east mountains. With a light layer of overnight snow, we found ourselves laying fresh tracks over the frozen creek and wetland meadows. Wheeee!

The sun is about to peek over the mountain in front of us
as we lay fresh tracks over the French Creek Crust.

With such a fun crust, we made many, many laps around and across this French Creek marsh and meadow. Yes, this really will be a marshy wetland in 1-2 months!

Flying along. Wheee!

Come along for one fun lap across the meadow as we zoom forward, left and right. Note that all tracks you see now & then throughout the video are our own tracks from previous laps in and around this fun meadow. We had a great time going back and forth and back and forth!

You know what else is nice about a fresh layer of snow over the crust? Well, it makes for really nice snow angel rolls :)

Goofy kids!

Back to the trailhead with our favorite retired gentleman, Zorro.

"Thanks for coming back! I love you man!" Zorro is intent
on telling me :)
"Zorro first, then us!" adds the impressively patient youngsters!
