I'm....Out.....of....Breath

I made Cindi come back to Laramie mainly to go snow shoeing in the Snowy Mountains. Unfortunately I didn't really take the 10,000+ ft. elevation into account. We did go, but it was real work. We only went about a mile with 600 ft. climb, but it took an hour and we were dead. I wanted to get to the high central plateau, but no way. In between oxygen-deprivation black-outs it was really pretty though.







On the way up to the mountains, Cindi got our first good pic of a golden eagle.









The snow up here is REALLY deep.



















Apparently the snow is so deep the outhouses need their own snow shovels.










Suited-up and ready to go.









View from 10,400' back towards Laramie. It's way down there in the valley 30 mi. horizontal and 3,400 ft. vertical.








Hey Bill. Are you sure that's the way back?
