snow shoeing fun

well debbie has left, i walked her to the shuttle bus this moring at 6am, was very sad to see her go and know i wont see her again till june :(

before she left we went on a snow shoe safari (not that there were any animals as its so snowy but we did see signs of lots of wildlife) so we got picked up at the house then headed to provincial park where we got kitted out with snow shoes and headed into the woods

just before we set off


check how deep the snow is on the bridge!


it was so pretty in the park, it was like being in narnia


having a break for some hot apple cider and cookies




the snow was so deep, there's no way you could have walked through the park without snow shoes on


some bear claw marks on a tree. aparently the biggest problem for baby bears are male bears so the mum will send the babies up trees to keep them safe


we learnt lots of interesting facts about the park and the fernie area. this tree stump is from the fire of 1908, the whole forest was burnt down as was the town, only 30 buildings survived


we had to get over this log, little tricky when you'v got big metal things attached to your feet


the explorers


then at night we went out for drinks to give debbie one last send of. we went to the air guitar championships at the royal pub

debbie finalt spots some wildlife


debbie and luke looking very drunk and happy


well thats the last update of team debbies fernie adventures, back to going it alone. i have my work party tonight (fancy dress theme is bond/aerobics!) so today i have to go and get a costume and some food to bring, they supply the booze. we are building a rail park outside the rental shop, so that should be interesting
