Medveji Lake Run



There is so much to say. First off 2009 has been fabulous. I know we are only 4 months and 1 week into it, but Jan., Feb., March, April, have all been sunny months, and May well on its way. A sunny month here is one where there is more sunny days than rainy ones. And out of those 5 months 4 of them have been super sunny. I haven't defined super sunny month until today, it is new term. It means that you really don't remember it raining much at all the entire month.

Let me put this into perspective for you, last year we only had 1 month out of the year that was a sunny month, it was actually a super sunny month, but only 1. So 5:5 so far this year isn't bad by rain forest standards. Yesterday was another day where I took advantage of one of those sunny days. E. Buck and I ran out to Medeviji Lake! Then we jumped in, twice. Medveji Lake is a glacier feed sub alpine lake. It is favorite spot. It was still frozen, everywhere minus the little break in the ice we found to jump in. Why we did it? It was on the E. Buck summer 2009 adventure list. Why did we do it twice, because our first video of the event failed so we had to repeat it to attain video coverage. I am still trying to thaw.

Above are some pictures that Ben took of us post swim. Conventently for him he didn't catch up with us until after we had already gone for our swim.
