Another nice snowshoe area. Lake Dillon is a huge reservoir about a mile from my apartment. One can also see that mountain range from my house.

Argentina Pass, Keystone, CO
One of my favorite snow shoe spots. The trail is used for backcountry skiing and in the summer 4x4 recreation. The picture isn't great but it gives an idea of what the area is like.
It’s about time! I apologize to anyone who has checked this blog since December. I owe you a few minutes of your life back.
Since the last post I've accepted a job with the Gila Hotshots. Gila is based 3 hours into the interior of Gila National Forest in southern New Mexico. I will be living in a bunkhouse in a small room with a roommate. The crew is made up of 20 people who are considered Type 1 firefighters (I was Type 2 last season). Being a "Hotshot" crew means that we are available nationally and travel to any of the 50 states and US protectorates. For traveling we have two 10-person trucks that look like a green SWAT team vehicle. I start working on April 16th and will end in mid-September.
In preparation for a summer of hard work I've been snow shoeing with weight too simulate a 45-pound IA pack. Going to the Silverthorne recreation center and snowboarding. Posted are some of my pictures from snow shoeing this winter.
