Two men (one very tall man...), three women, 5 pairs of snowshoes, and a Saturn = a very interesting trip to Yosemite.
Highlights:
-walking around until midnight along a river with the huge rocks surrounding us and the moonlight helping us trip less than normal
-playing "snowshoe" rather than "bullshit" because the lodge had a lot of kids
-getting ambushed by Jess, Liam and Jaye's snowball stockpile as Owen and I tardily approached the falls thanks to my forgetfulness
-falling and thus sliding down a steep icy hill
-biting it on snowshoes and geriactrically getting up 10 minutes later
-learning about how Jessica loves crows
-using show chains - kudos to those things
-mountain men
-hot chocolate, game of spoons, and a fire-warmed lodge
-if book of questions. "if you had to _____________ (insert random question here), what would you do?"
-eating the wonderful muffins Chef Jessica made (millet-raisin-something or other). YUM!
All in all, a great time was had and it is suggested you go to Yosemite in the winter. The waterfalls are still going and there are lots less people around than in the summer.
