Life in the Cold

Being back in Montana again brings back all the reasons that I loved it out here to begin with. Winter is so completly differnt than summer and the winter has hardly began. For the past week and have been pretty much confined to the ranch because during the 2 days it got below -20 something happend to my car and it hasnt wanted to start since then. But all is well. Ive been doing some cross country skiing a couple of times. The first time I went out I really enjoyed it, but today I went again, on a trail that was basically all up hill, then you just skiied back down. Not much fun to me, I think I prefer taking the life up a mountain, wearing big powder skis, and being able to ski down for 20 mins as opposed to the inconsistante up and down of nordic, but I will give it a try again later. Today it snowed for the first time in like a week. But the rest of the week the outlooks not so great. No snow and temps in the teens to below 0 at night.
Here too are some photos of me and my family from when I was back in TN in November, and one of some friends. Enjoy!
