Our first stop was the local donut shop in Sandy, OR. It was packed the whole time we were there (Robert, one of the trip leaders, is getting HIS camera ready in the photo):
When we arrived at the trailhead, the weather looked pretty gloomy...and it was VERY CHILLY...
But as soon as we stepped inside the forest, it was quiet, still and clear:
We carried our snowshoes most of the way up the trail, but we got to put them on when we arrived at the lake:
One of the trip leaders, Kristen, brought her dog, Shale, and the dog took quite a liking to Dan. (Shale and Dan's snowshoes):

I took quite a liking to my snowshoeing boots:
And it was hard for Dan and Shale to say goodbye after such a fun day together:
Dan and I want to get a dog :)
