Snow Day

Last Wednesday, I took a snow day and headed up to Dog Mountain for a little fun in the sun & snow. Of course I started with the most important meal of the day, breakfast :) I wonder if that coffee is Irish...

Yes that is freshly made salsa on my scramble eggs :)
The drive out to the north shore was peaceful, just missing the morning rush. So I figured the mountain would be empty but the parking lot was full of cars :( but I always manage to find a spot.

My view from the parking lot
Something is going on at Seymour
The Hidden Fortress was being filmed on Seymour, that's why the parking lot was filled up, since I wasn't interested I moseyed along.
 
No idea what this film is about
Not all of that is snow, there's some puddles also
More white stuff
Finally got to Dog Mountain, which is not in the Bagger Challenge (hint, hint), no idea how long it took since I wasn't wearing a watch but peaceful and all mine, at least for a little bit. I only saw one other group and they were already heading back when I arrived. 

Peak of Dog Mountain
What's that's in the distance
It's just Cathedral

As I was finishing off my lunch lots of groups started showing up and it was my queue to leave. Besides my feet were starting to get cold, I had a run in with a few puddles on the way. The way back was no different, hard pack ice and icy cold puddles. It was a day of pure joy with no worries. I think I need more of these.
