Beautiful scenery and wildlife were highlights of our journey.
The temperature crept to scary cold temperatures each day, another adventure "highlight."
Here are the basic deets:
- 3 days of snowshoeing
- 17 pound pack
- 50 miles of Yellowstone National Park interior from West Yellowstone, MT to Mammoth Hot Springs, WY
In the next few days, I’ll post the rest of the story, and, hopefully lots of fun photos as well. It was a freaking awesome winter Yellowstone trip, though. And, I think it was also fabulous Marathon des Sables training, if you can believe it.
Tell yer' friends, friend!

We can believe it. But I thought your whole MDS strategy was to get some boy to carry your pack the whole distance, wasn’t it?!?

Wow, that’s some COLD weather!

What a great adventure!! Did June go with you?

Why do you have a picture of a novelty thermometer. Numbers below the zero are like a clock that runs backwards!

I was just telling Jess last night over wine that you were getting in some snow shoe training. Have fun!

So it’s gonna be a cold year at MdS? Why else would you camp out in that weather? Yes, I’m jealous.
I’m sure you kids had a freakin’ blast! I can’t wait for the pictures (pretty please!).
I’m gonna be in CA again on Feb. 7. Consider this your call.

Trail Goat is sadly still at work and will be for awhile longer. Please send him food… or a job offer for an interesting job out west that won’t keep him in the office past 9, unless he wants to be there!
