Its Saturday...and what does that mean? Snow. But, really, for Redding, that meant 80 degrees of crazy January weather. So, what did we do? well, we went to the snow. Lassen is beautiful in the winter...and even more beautiful because we were there. It took longer to get there than we were actually there... but the time that we did spend was amazing. Lovely. Wet.
All the single ladies found a boyfriend...one that was stoic, quiet and a little cold. Not my "perfect" guy, but he did the job for the day.
At this point, i was happy that our own personal Ranger Rick had made us stay silent in the wilderness for a minute, experiencing the deafening silence of serenity that happens when you are out alone in the Lassen backcountry. I was so happy that i was lost in my own little world. (And trying to get a little tan on my face.)
In the back of me was Ranger Rick. He was (in my imagination) in LOVE with the other Ranger Rosie that accompanied us. They would make coy little jokes back and forth to each other that made me think that either they had a little something something going on, or that they had liked each other, then they went out, she wasn't feeling it, and now its awkward between them because he still likes her. Sometimes its fun to imagine these things.
All in all, great day, great friends.

So true about the driving being longer than the snowshoeing. I was thinking that on our way back, but since every one had "bucked up," I decided to keep it to myself. Ha. Also, I love how your blog focuses on the love situation of our rangers and my is boring and factual.... Although my pictures are bigger than yours, so that makes up for the boring blog.
yes I am a slacker..but now I just get to say "ditto" to you and Elaine's blogs! and refute the idea that our rangers were in love...although I do agree with you that there was some kind of drama going on there...
my pics will be up soon!
umm and I really think you should post the video on your blog of you really falling over...classic.
