It turns out that I am not the ideal snowshoer--mainly due to my penchant for falling down. I nearly faceplanted so many times that towards the end of the adventure, as we approached a small hill and I said "Oh gosh!" in terror, a stranger turned around to offer assistance. Also, I was very slow.
The Forest Service hosts free snowshoeing tours twice daily every weekend on Mt. Bachelor during ski season... how awesome is that? A group of volunteers led us through the forest on a 90-minute interpretive hike. It was pretty cool, and a unique method of exercising. Please enjoy the following photos of our adventure, complete with photographic evidence of Shawna needing help into her snowshoes from a forest ranger to her awesome polka dot rain boots... still water proof, but not nearly as thermal as is necessary, it turns out. Yay winter activities!
These people were pros:

Shawna and I have the same awesome rainboots. I knew I liked that kid. I'm glad you had fun! I'm told it gets easier, I kept face planting as well.
I didn't realize I was logged in as Jason. That was me. Jason's a pro-snowshoer it turns out.
Haha, that was really funny for a moment when I thought Jason had the same rain boots as me. Nice image. :) We should all go snowshoeing and tubing together next winter. That would be such fun!
