Well, today Maverick and I had company! Two nice folks accompanied us while we hiked 4 miles, gaining a bit over 1,000' and enjoyed our first snowshoe hike of the season! We weren't far from town, and not much higher, but there was at least a foot of snow, and it was a really nice hike. A few photos from today:

My old buddy Fred, Vietnam Veteran, US Army. Great guy. Snowshoe & bicycle fanatic:

Scenery shot. Sometimes we go another four miles over that direction, to the west, but not today:
