Making it Personal

I've decided to change this to a personal blog, rather than a what to do and see sort of thing. Who knows how often I'll get to posting, but I figure it will be nice to be able to put up some photos while we are in Argentina in March.

With Henry gone we've had to figure out how to make our own fun. So, on Sunday Anders and I headed down to the B Bar Ranch up the Tom Miner drainage in Paradise Valley. This private guest ranch has 30 km of groomed cross-country ski trails and they open it up to the public a few times a season.

We skied for about 2 hours (I can't ski all day when I'm pulling 30-40 lbs behind me!) and then had lunch at the yummy buffet in the heated (wood stove) Nordic Tent.

All in all it was a great day. They are having their last public ski day next weekend and I'm tempted to head out there again and catch some of the trails I missed on Sunday.
