~ my first ever trip to Crater Lake in Oregon.

Deep, fresh snow. I had never snow-shoed in my life before. I was alone and totally uninformed and unguided. It's not allowed to stay in your car on the mountain, so after a nocturnal wander and snow-shoe scout, I drove down the mountain to a road cut-out, slept for maybe three hours, then drove back up, and snow-shoed out in the dark to wait for sunrise. Not a cloud, deeply cold and totally exhilarating.
