The Iditarod is almost over and I'm just now uploading my first blog entry of the year. 2013 has felt fast and furious times. Good thing that fun has been part of that. We went to Colorado in early January to visit family. At the end of January we flew to Hawaii for a two-week vacation with the usual mix of biking, snorkeling, and hiking.

30 dec 12 trail gnome
The clear cold fall left two days ago and warm drizzle replaced it. Today I was trying hard to find the good in this turn of events. My plans to ski/snowshoe/bike this long holiday weekend are on hold until this weather pattern moves out, which may not be until later this week. Today we put cleats on our hiking boots and walked some mountain bike trails near our house. There we found this trail gnome sitting outside his burrow playing his pipes. He paused to smile at us as we walked past. Thanks for the cheer on this gray day, little guy. Hiking in the slush is better than many of the alternatives.
