Faster Than Your Couch!

    Two snowboarders who were using a car (driven by the third guy) to pull them up the mountain on the road. We have more than a foot of snow here, so the road was covered well, almost like a ski slope. Then they snowboarded down again. Looked like a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if the car came out of this adventure without any dents.

    Run for fun.

      ...the Mr. Grumpypants who called us "fucking idiots" for wearing headlamps at Pt. Defiance last weekend.  (Apparently he walks the park all the time and was most likely drunk when he called us that).

        I tamed this wild beast, wrestled it into submission, and put it on a leash and took it home with me.

        Running is dumb.

          I recommend you spray him with your handheld the next time he is in range...

              We saw him twice that day.  The second time we all shone our lights in his face Big grin

                  Rocky - sorry Monday night is son's Scout meeting...(and I also need to shed my winter layer before you whip me on the trails)

                   

                  Maybe in the spring once my wife is done with her Monday night gig and she can spell me on driving to scouts.

                   

                  btw - is your daughter playing for school or CYO?

                    CYO for Basketball this Quarter.  School Basketball is in the Fall for girls.  She is also doing Junior High Volleyball.  Games are on Basketball Practice nights.  Makes for a long day...

                     

                    ...Last night I saw about 8 sets of eyes from the blacktail deer feeding along the trail.  Funny I won't see any deer hiking on a wilderness trail, but I'm covered up with them in town at the County park.  Somethin' ain't right about that...

                      Not right on the run, but on the way back: a huge black bear, right next to the road. It looked like a big teddy bear. Just when I tried to take a picture, it turned and ran away.

                       

                      The bear was in a residential area (bordering State Game Lands), just 300 ft from my son's school (where kids have recess in unfenced areas), and a pre-school next to it!

                       

                      Update: I just learned, the bear was captured and taken back to the mountain by animal control yesterday. Maybe I'll meet him there on one of my runs...

                      Run for fun.

                        running under the BigSky

                          this afternoon found the fresh remnants of a mule deer kill, not sure if it was coyotes that killed the deer or came across a lion kill and cleaned it up (I've been seeing lion tracks in the area)- only hair, blood and a little stomach rumen was all that was left

                           

                          this second one might not count as I wasn't running at the time, but was driving home from running Smile  saw three nice bighorn rams cross the road this evening, but was too slow w/ the camera

                            ... two people in Vibram 5-Fingers, sockless, and a guy in shorts and a short-sleeve T.

                             

                            Just for the records, it was 13 deg, snowing, 20 mph winds, and snow/ice covered ground, and it was a 6.2-mile FA run.

                                Pronghorn antelope? I've never seen that many bunched together before. I'll usually see one or two lonely looking ones out east of my town. Where was thIs?

                                Looks great.
