Snowshoeing at Buzzard Point, March 8th

Oops, I forgot about this one. Yes, up to this point, my posts have been in order but for whatever reason, I missed or forgot about Buzzard Point. This was a shorter and kind of discovery trail we did that starts at the end of the parking lot in Barlow Pass Sno Park. The hike itself is not that difficult as it goes downhill on a road which is very wide. What made it somewhat harder was all the fresh snow and the constantly changing weather. You’ll see in the pictures that we had blue ski and sun and then some snow showers. What made this hike shorter than planned (besides Chris leading us of track) and a bit more “emotional” was that we lost a dog. Rip, a new member of the group had his dog with him. At some point, Rip was falling a little behind while the dog was running up and down in front of us. At some point, he decided to head back to the car but when he started looking for his dog it was not there. Of course this story has a happy ending. A bit after lunch, when we were heading back, we heard the dog barking somewhere in the tress and started calling it until he showed up and came running to us. After that, we took kind of a short cut to the highway and back to the cars to reunite the dog with Rip. Happy ending.
