LAST DAY IN THE VALLEY

We are wrapping up our time here in the Valley. Today’s adventure was snowshoeing near the Galena Lodge. 5km of snowshoeing. But not just any 5k. I was looking for a trail named ‘Lambs Way’ or perhaps a trip to ‘Gentle Pass’ or ‘Pleasant Meadow’. What did we end up picking?

Never trust a twenty something that says ‘oh, there’s a little bit of elevation gain’. Especially when the trail joins another one.

Actually it wasn’t all that bad. Just enough elevation gain to let your leg muscles know they are needed. Jodi liked the trail and Rex LOVED IT. Rex did get stuck once in the deep snow, but Jodi pulled him out.

We spent a little time in the Galena Lodge. Great little lodge, then back to the condo to get ready for dinner.

The three of us went to the ‘Sawmill Club’ which I liked, but it was a little noisy and the baked brie did not lived up to its much hyped expectation. On a whim, Jodi made reservations at della MANO. They had homemade pasta and each dish was fantastic. Complemented by a bottle of Sleight of Hand, we all had a great time.

The week passed much too quickly. I renewed acquantaince with the valley, Jodi and Rex saw it anew, but we all loved not only the valley, but the lifestyle that went with it. Wonderful time and we all feel a little younger being here a week.
