"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Snowshoeing on Monarch Mt

Saturday February 21st, Marlena & I shared a mother daughter day!! We went snowshoeing at Monarch Mountain. We hiked for 3 miles. 2,000 of those feet were snowshoeing up the mountain. We had the most perfect day, the sky was so blue & the sun was so warm. It was so great to escape from our everyday routine and have fun together!! We were joined with our friend Christy Allman- a fellow Bandit Wife- (her husband is pictured in the photos from Scott's & I Anniversary motorcycle ride to Winter Park this past August).









WOO HOO!!! We made it to the top!! Ft Carson sits at an Elevation of 5873 feet. For our snowshoe hike we started out around 9,300 feet. Yes there were times I was huffing & puffing!
