Stupid Facebook, I've developed the habit of posting a few quick photos on Facebook and neglecting the blog. Well no longer. I've been neglecting Facebook for the past 2 months or so and it feels fantastic. I check it occasionally because people use it like email and I like to get my messages. I did feel bad when I checked after 2 days and found that a nice lady had taken some photos of Strummer at the last DOCNA trial and wanted my real email so she could send them to me. Hopefully she wasn't too put off that I took 2 days to respond. Other than that it feels liberating to be free of the place. I occasionally check my messages and whatever couple few posts are at the top of my feed and sometimes something like the Boulder Nordic Club to see if they've groomed the parks near my house or similar type groups to get info. on things. Facebook has it's purpose and place but for me the less I go there the better I feel.
Thanksgiving hike at Hall Ranch. It was t-shirt weather despite the snow on the ground at the higher elevations.
A smear of rainbow in the clouds over Hall Ranch.
Was expecting more snow over the twin peaks (Meeker and Longs).
Silly deer.
Christmas hike with Strummer at Walker Ranch. A light snow started falling while we were hiking but we made it back to the car before the big storm hit. Beautiful magical day.

Silly Strum.
Practicing the dark art of diving rods or 'water witching'
And finally some in-town skiing at North Boulder Park after the storm. It was a perfect day except for the crowds that amassed. It wasn't too bad when I got there but I had to leave after 45 minutes or risk ending up on the 5:00 news. Boulder has reached the tipping point of Too Many People but that's a post for another day.
