today is jan 27, 2021 bob Melnar and i went on a snowshoe hike to the rio grande river trail area

                      the low temperature early this morning in Bristol Head Acres was -26.5 degrees.

                      This is the lowest for this year and the lowest i have ever seen it here in BHA is -32 degrees.      when we started snowshoeing  at 11:00 A.M. it was  - 1 degrees.  It was pretty cold as we started down the steep hill behind the Kraft's house.  Luckily for us there was no wind and we did follow a broken packed trail which Bob and I put in yesterday afternoon.  Yesterday was a very windy day so we didnt get to the Rio Grande river ice so today we broke trail all the way down to the river and snowshoed up river toward the middle creek road fisherman area.

                         it was a magnificent fantastic utterly spectacular blue sky day and the visibilities had to be at 100 miles   all the mountains all around the cabin were buried in snow especially the big La Garita massive ridges that you see when i look out my big living room windows.  i am posting some photos from that trip on this blog

Snow shoe trip along the Rio Grande river

Image
               I went on a snowshoe trip down and along the Rio Grande river.  I went up river not quite two miles.  It was such beautiful scenery along the way as all the mountains and ridges all around the valley  were buried in snow.  there was about 36 inches of snow i was traveling over so all the fences were buried.  Usually in a normal snow year one has to cross the fence some how but this year icould just step over the last strand of barb wire that was barely sticking out of the snow.
