Real friends walk in when others walk out

The other day we snowshoed about a mile and a half at Tennessee Pass and spent the night in this one room yurt with two other couples. The weather was nice with just a few flakes coming down and about 25 degrees. It would clear up for a few minutes and snow lightly for a while.


Inside the yurt there was a double bunk bed and another double bed, a small kitchen area, a table pictured below, and a wood stove. We had electricity but not much, it was from solar. And, we had about seven gallons of water.


We had reservations for dinner at the Cookhouse at 6:00p. So, we we walked a quarter mile down to this yurt using our headlamps (Dan and Tammi pictured below) and had one of the best meals ever! Dan, Mark and I had Elk, and wow was it ever good. You could literally cut it with your fork, it was so tender.


Mark and Teena woke up in the morning on the top bunk dressed in their full length red jammies! How cute!

I know some of you may be wondering, why would you all sleep together like this? Well, real friends are people who walk in when everybody else walks out!

I'm just glad no one walked out on me in the middle of the night! They commented that while I might be low on horsepower, I was long on exhaust!
