Colorado Fullmoon Snowshoes

“Anybody interested in the first full moon snowshoe of the season?”

“Um, yea. :)”

“Cool! We'll probably do Emerald Lake again. Expect a gargantuin group if the weather is group.”

“I'm in!

Actually, me, shortstep and DHutch did the first one last friday. :P”

“I would looooove to go! Send me a ticket. ;)”

“That would depend on who's doing the mooning.”

“That will be AmyG. Her moon is bright enough for all.”

“bright enough to require moongoggles be issued!”

“Yup!”

“I can't wait to slide down the side of the lake again!”

“Hey Adventurist, sounds like fun to me.I can't make it to this one, but I will be in Colorado for the full moon in early February :-) Of course I am planninjg to do a full moon snowshoe trip then with the gang (Snowpeak, Mtngrl, Bill, Deborah so far). How about you guys?

Before snowshoeing, there will be the usual pig-out at Chicago's Best Pizza :-)”

“I'm in if I'm here then.”

“Sounds good!

See you in February Woodzie.

Hope you can make it Bison!”

“OMG, that was totally the highlight of the trip John, though it was pretty cold getting snow up my back! Wish I could be there :(”

“Looks like there might be a good showing for this. I'm hoping for good weather!”

“I'm so envious I could scream!
Looks like a great time.”

“Oh, btw... click on the photo to see larger.

“Will you all be ready to do it again in February? I'll be out there Feb. 1-10.”

“Yes Mam! :-)”

“I'm thinking full-moon to Bierstadt Lake?”

“You guys rock!!!!!”

“The guy in the green jacket on the left is Bison too.

that was a BLAST - it was about 2 degrees wasn't it?

I went off ahead of the group at first - I've never been in the forest when it was so quiet - there was nothing moving - it was all frozen solid i suppose.”

“Darn, sorry I forgot Bison! I was happy to see he made it.

“I believe it was -2 at the trailhead. It sure was beautiful out there!”

“Bison

You hooked on snowshoeing now? Thats cool that your first time on snowshoes was for a full-moon.

BTW... to everyone that doesn't realize. Please don't take offense but its hard to hear what people say sometimes over the crunch crunch of their snowshoes on the snow. :-) Just so people don't think I am going deaf.”

“Oh, I'm hooked, if I hadn't just spent 5000 on a new home theater, I'd go buy a pair of snowshoes right now. As it is I'll just rent this winter and buy a pair at the end of the season sales.”

“$5000? I'm assuming that includes the TV? What speakers and unit did you go with?

Thats your best bet with the snowshoes cause then you can rent different types and still get a good deal.”

“55 inch Sony SXRD 1080p tv

Sony 5.1 surround sound system with upconverting DVD player

Xbox 360

UPS system

And lot's of cables to hook it all up.

Oh, and I shouldn't forget the one-time 200 dollar fee to upgrade to the HD DVR.

The installation guy's here setting up our HD service right now.

“dude!

sweet setup!

My tv died and i have to replace it, but i bet i don't get anywhere near that level of setup! LOL”

“I'll let you have mine if you can carry it up my stairs all by yourself.”

“uh, no thanks! I like my spine just the way it is.”

“Oh, I forgot the 300 bucks for a stand to put the TV on.

Cables - 2 HDMI, 2 Digital Optical, 1 Digital Coaxial, Subwoofer, Speaker wire (the subwoofer cable and speaker wire that came with the system weren't quite up to my standards) - altogether about 150.

Watching it right now and it's beautiful, the sound is incredible.”

“Bison, I am coming to CO in April.

You should come east with Roam and do the BFT with us!”

“Hey Bison! The next snowshoe is Sat, Feb 3. Are you coming?

Its going to be in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Anybody else interested?”

“I'm in if I don't have to fly out for work next week, send me the details.”

“So far I know that we will meet at the same location, Beaver Meadows. We'll meet around 8-8:30. I'll confirm actual time and route after this weekend.”

“Anybody else interested?”

“Location has been decided. Email me for more info.”

“I plan to do a liitle snow shoeing soon myself, I'll be in Winter Park/Grandby February 17-23 for a ski trip. I can't wait to try out my new toys! And yes ENS April will be here before you know it. Elbert here we come!”

“Cool. Have a good time at Winter Park!”

“Brrrrrr!”

“Five below in the burbs Saturday night, it'll be time to put on all the layers at the trailhead, I've got my snowshoes reserved at REI, I'm ready to go!”

“Cool! See ya then! So far its looking like 16-20 people with the possibility of a 50% bail rate.”

“Wow! We had 27 people lastnight! Besides losing 18 of them out on the trail we still had a great time! :-)”

“Next one is Saturday March 3.

We will make another attempt for Mills Lake.”

“Anybody? Bueller, buelllllerrrr?”

“Would love too... but I'm in the wrong time zone! [G]

The moon ought to still be seriously red as it rises for you guys. Should look pretty wild combined with that landscape!”

“We won't be out till 2 hours after moonrise. Do you think it will still be red out here?”

“I may or may not be able to make it, I'll let you know. I if I can I'll definitely be there.”
