Write Up:
What a great way to spend Good Friday! A very large group out today to snow shoe in to Watridge Lake and then up to Karst Spring. There was some fresh snow from this week, and the temperature was really mild. We had several guests from Chicago join us for the day (with Jordin), all "Ultimate Frisbee" players - they brought along their frisbee and played a very entertaining game on Watridge Lake (without removing their snow shoes, incidentally).

The spring itself was gorgeous with the bright green moss and fresh white snow for contrast. The trail up to the spring was quite icy, so many people went up the very more icy way, and some of us chose the very less icy way, including the very more steeper section. Buzz earned himself a new nickname - "Sparkles" - as he and Manon frolicked in the snow.

On to our favorite K-place for refreshments and more stimulating conversation (we're thinking of making our carpools events all their own... there's no telling what can happen!).
