Long time no sea....


Catch up with us on our last two months of travels, won't you?

Rocky mountains and local snow shoe-ing wildlife below....




This wile coyote made his presence known long enough for a few camera snaps, while the rest of his pack slunk away into the forest...













Unfortunately, on our most fortunate of hikes our camera batteries decided to call it quits. At least the cell phone back-up allowed us to capture proof of the moose as well as mountain lion tracks we followed ~ 1/2 mile down the trail.



Emerald lake was blistery cold but worth the snowshoe to see such grand peaks up-close, even if for just a few minutes...
















A little finch watched as we left the mainland for the rainbow state in early March... 




We went from temperature extremes of -30°F to 80°F in less than two weeks!



It wouldn't be a Ben and Carrie Tracks post without a sunset picture now would it?









Safe to say we've had a fair helping of snorkeling all around the island....the green sea turtle shots above were taken in Shark's Cove along the North shore.









Our journey begins this weekend for the NW Hawaiian Islands  (see post below)... and while we have enjoyed our time in Oahu, we have no qualms at all about leaving civilization and the hustle and bustle of Waikiki shown in the picture above.
