Snowshoeing at Bear Valley
Feb, 2005
 

IMG_1371 Theresa and I were fortunate enough to be invited by Stephen to stay at his parents' cozy and comfortable cabin at Arnold, which is near Bear Valley, California.

IMG_1383 It was great visiting the cabin again. We were very impressed by the modern kitchen that was just remodeled last year.

IMG_1401 After a hearty breakfast we started our hike in the morning under a gloriously clear, sunny, and warm day.

IMG_1429 We thought we were heading toward the car. We hiked. We hiked. We hiked. Then we ended up at a cliff. Now we knew that we were heading the wrong direction.

IMG_1438 Here was Stephen trying to get us back. We made it home safely.

IMG_1453 A nice dinner at the Blue Coyote can revive anyone's body and spirits :-)

IMG_1456 We even had energy to enjoy a vicious--I mean friendly-- game of Mexican dominoes.

IMG_1473 The next morning we were able to fit another hike in at the Stanislaus National Forest.
