Snow Storm

We finally got a snow storm during New Years Weekend.  There was high winds along with the snow, and we decided it was perfect weather to get the dogs out in. 
The highway on the way to the trails.
Of course, Marenisco got a bit more snow than we had at home.  We got maybe six inches of new snow, they had a foot of snow on the ground, and the road we had been driving down to park off of hadn't been plowed yet, so it was a bit hairy.
One truck had been through before us.  Thank goodness for four wheel drive!
Our parking spot also hadn't been plowed, took us awhile and some digging to get the trailer in and parked.
And nothing had been out on the trails yet, so the dogs had some work ahead.
Jeremy's team busting through shoulder deep snow-the dogs were having fun, though, and have put on enough muscle to get the job done.
Me and my team-we had it easy on Jeremy's trail.
We went in about four and a half miles to Henry Lake campground, turned around there and headed back.
The going was much easier on the way back following our trail.
It ended up taking almost an hour and a half to go about nine miles.  Slow work, but fun anyhow.  Luckily, its not something we have to do very often-breaking trail in a foot of snow-if we did, it would get old fast.
