Hex Mountain Snowshoe

Yesterday we went out to Cle Elm (about 2 hr drive) and attempted to hike to the summit of Hex Mountain.  Unfortunately, it had rained a few times and it made the trail very crusty.  Meaning?  It became very hard to see where others went before us and the original trail was pretty much 'washed' away.  We didn't make it to the top, but we did get some wonderful views and a great workout as it was very steep.  We are looking forward to going back and finding the rest of the trail--we were so close too!!  We had company today:  the blond is Barbara who went last time....and the dark hair girl is Danielle.  We ended up having a blast just walking around exploring the area.  Some of the hills were very, very steep and we were able to slide down them on our butts.  We plan on investing in some cheap plastic sleds!

For all those Northern Exposure fans....
