Today, Bronka joined us on a snowshoe hike at Paradise. Our friends, John and Sharon, as well as Ted and I are planning to climb Mt. St. Helens on Memorial Day weekend. So their friends, Tammy and Ken joined us on this snowshoe so John and Sharon can teach them ice axe techniques. So we all decided to warm up and snowshoe Edith Basin. When we got to the top of the hill, we decided to have a break and eat some lunch. We snowshoed to some trees nearby and it was great as there was no wind. We were planning to do the Edith Basin loop, but we could see the clouds coming down from the mountain and decided it would be best to turn back. So after lunch we came back to the parking lot. Bronka decided to go to the Jackson Center and stay there while John and Sharon helped Tammy and Ken work on ice axe techniques. We up a hill by the parking lot. Tammy and Ken did great! Although the day was cloudy and windy, we all had a great time!
