Adventure around the corner

You know I always like the rush of a nice adventure and sometimes it is easier to find one then you think.

A friend and I went on our first ever Cross country Ski trip and of course it was a lot of falling and getting up specially as I later found out our trail was not a beginners course and had a height difference of 200 meters. All that of course made it a task on it's own to keep standing when you go down the steep hills at crazy speeds. And then of course how do you get up the next hill.

That was all fun to do and after we ran in to friends that advised us to turn back because it would get dark soon my friend and I decided that we at least wanted to make it to the half way point.
And getting there was not that difficult.

The trip back was more exiting because it started to get dark and of course we where not really prepared for that. The snow surrounding you is so impressive and even when the sun go's down there is still a lot of light for you to see where you are going.

The later it got the darker it got to and then there is an animal on the track in front of us. And it is hard to see what it is but based on the shape it could be a wolf........
But no it was just a small deer, but at that point i realized that these woods are not that scary but still they give you a curtain feeling. I am not really afraid of animals in the woods but it could have bin a Cougar and what would I have done then?

A well we survived and got wet to up the bone from sweat and snow. At the end we where so exhausted that we could have gone to bed right a way.

But man this was a great and exciting trip and i hope to get more of those. You can wake me anytime to go out and experience the outdoors.
