Mesa Falls, Joe Falls

After a long week at work, it was time to enjoy some sunshine on Saturday. So, following a meeting in the morning, I headed out to Ashton, Idaho for another cross country ski trek to Mesa Falls. The trail was groomed most of the way, except where snowmobiler's had intervened. While I was thoroughly enjoying the sunny weather, it tends to make for sticky snow, the demise of a great XC ski trip. But in this case, it probably kept me from getting too much speed and heading off the cliff. Here's a few pictures from the trail:

The ski trail followed the cliffside on the right. Lower Falls is about 3 miles upstream, then another mile to Upper Falls.

If you look close, you can see the rainbow! Recently I've been reminded of the pain and suffering that is so evident in our world. But don't forget about the One who created that first rainbow. The beauty of His creation is just an example to remind us that God cares for us individually! Whether you've had a good or bad day, God knows and cares for YOU!

The last of the serious photos...

Now THAT, is a lot of snow!

I dare you to stand under that while I...

Cheap entertainment - especially for the other's watching.

Here it is... the pose you've come to expect.

Uh oh, something isn't right...
That's cold...

But not defeated.

Who turned up the heat in the think tank?!?
