Hogsback and Bachelor

For Valentine's Day weekend Ed and I decided not to spend time and money on flowers and food but instead on hiking and snowboarding!  (are you surprised?)  Saturday we did Hogsback again (this time with NO Snow!)  and we finally got all the way to the famous "Lone Pine" with Alee!  We started the hike with Mariah, Joe and Alee's friend Daphne and ended up meeting at least 12 more dogs on the trail!  It was definitely a dogs day!

 Ed and Alee on the trail - Alee was off leash the entire time!

 The famous "Lone Pine" - this tree is beat up, leaning and all brown...people wonder how it's still standing...

Alee doing a little off-trail hiking to look for "snacks"

 Needless to say...Alee was pooped after the hike!

On Sunday we headed up to Mt Bachelor in Bend for FREE snowboarding!  The resort makes it's easy hill (aka bunny hill but very large) free Thurs - Sun - so it was ideal for 2 people who didn't know what they were doing!  We were so busy on the mountain we didn't get any pics except of the gear before we left - we just love our Subaru!  We had a great time though and plan to go back in 2 weeks!
