Decent snowstorm through last night, so I went to McLean to try snowshoeing.  The snow was extremely wet, and the ground has been "soft", so snowshoeing was just ok, with a total of 3.8-miles total.

And, on this day in 2003 (fifteen long years ago), Moby Dick Snowshoe Race!

"Entering into Heaven is another awesome soul, my brother has gained his wings. He lived and enjoyed his life to the fullest, he was adventurous (extreme workouts, skiing, running many marathons), served his country (Navy), and always had a smile for everyone he met.

Although he maintained an extremely healthy lifestyle, like Muhammed Ali he was later stricken with Parkinson's. He was my big brother, he will be missed and also like Muhammed Ali: he in my heart will always be "The Greatest"" ~ Leslie Koonce
