Yurt, Yurt, Yurt

So, it happened a couple weeks ago, but here are the details of my snowshoe trip to a yurt in southern Colorado (Trujillo Meadows, just west of the reservoir that my family camped at when I was a child) over MLK jr. weekend. There were five of us that went, compared to last year's 8 in the same size yurt. Imagine all that space we had this year!

I started getting blisters on my heels from the very beginning. :( So I spent Saturday morning with a wilderness first aid book taking care of them. The forest road that we followed out to the yurt had been plowed, so halfway through the hike, four of us took off our snowshoes (the fifth person was on skis) and walked.

I became known as an instigator because I started a couple of heated discussion Saturday night. I'm pleading some innocence because I simply read something from my Outside magazine, I didn't come up with the topics on my own.
