As I lay here watching my breath float away and listening to pelting snow on my tent walls I feel the need to blog. I just finished putting together a hansom looking snowman on the picnic table. Well I think it was a picnic table! My friends are settling in for a long winters nap. In hopes of a good mountain bike result tomorrow. We are camping at Wallace Lake 15 miles out of Salmon ID at around 8400 feet. And … it is snowing heavily!
I got out of work around 4:30 and hustled home to pack. My friends picked me up and we headed out of town with a "hot-n-ready" pizza steaming up the windows.
As we entered into Idaho we joked about it snowing. When we arrived in Salmon about 8:00 the temp was already 20 degrees warmer than back home in Missoula. We left town and headed to the camping area mapped out by our trip advisor (my friends wife). We climbed for 15 miles into q huge snow storm. So big that we can not even find the out house that we saw on the way in. By the time we got the tents set up there was 2 inches on the ground.
Now it is nighty night time. The snow continues to pitter patter on my tent and I sign out of reality and into a good nights rest.
