Team Clearly Elk (an anagram of Clare and Kelly) competed in our first snowshoe orienteering contest. The contest was hosted by the Rocky Mountain Orienteering Club (RMOC), whom I met a few weeks prior at the Frisco Nordic center. They invited me to attend this event at Devil’s Thumb Ranch, so I was happy when Kelly said she’d join me. Off to experience the next adventure! (more…)

Snowshoe Hiking – Stapleton Neighborhood
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010On Tuesday, the Denver Metro area was inundated with a horrible winter snow storm. The snow was blowing sideways in a huge white-out! I went home early, just before the weather landed and finished the day by working from home.
The next day, the snow continued into mid morning. Then, the glorious sun came out. Emma & I decided to go for a snowshoe hike. We hiked for about 3 hours, all over Stapleton, and I actually got a sunburn! Emma had hoped the Coldstone was open, but alas, they had closed up shop for the day on account of the storm.
We went to Noodles & Co, and I bought her a cookie instead. It wasn’t ice cream, but oh well!
After 3 hours of snowshoeing, I was beat. What a great workout!
