My husband has a video of me discussing the same thing as I see one that's falled on me.

I say - Wow - it's a snowflake that looks like a snowflake - or something simiarly lame - but well - here - you can see for yourself my lameness:

Haha, I love your reaction... "It's like an asterisk, with arms!"

Hehehe, that made me laugh too.

I am awed by you and Betty. Your outdoor adventures with J are impressive to me. And when I watched Betty's youtube video, besides laughing at her reaction to the snowflake, all I could think of was how cold I would be. I am no camper. But camping + snow? That would never happen.

I just recently saw The Gold Rush...

Spoiler:

Camping in the snow, to me, would cause Donner Party nightmares.

My hat is off to you, Betty and blueerica!

What a fabulous site. And I always thought the snowflakes in Adventure Thru Inner Space were pretty cool and perfect

I really love the photos.

Well -we certainly didn't expect snow. That's for sure. It was all bright and sunny -and then we got there and bammo. They were telling us it was totally unexpected etc... Little did we know that by the time we got up the hill aways, it's was snowing A LOT!

But we didn't want to go home - and the lower camp ground was full - and we didn't really want to stay in an actual campground with lots of people anyway.

We had a really great time - even if we slept in the jeep the second night and ran the heater a few different times to warm it up. The tent wouldn't have been so bad except that I had to pee no less then 10 times during the night and all that getting up and out of the sleeping bag and then yanking my pants down in the snow wasn't much fun. The second night was heaven by comparison.

I've later learned that trying to sleep in the jeep is not a good thing unless under dire circumstances. Better off on the ground by comparison - and even that sucked.

Next time it's going to be the air mattress and tent again - and it won't be in the snow. Pretty as it was. It's effin cold!
