Today, Ben and I went for a nice hike up Gavan hill. I purchased some snow shoes last week and told Ben I wanted to go hiking with him through some snow. Today, we left about 10 o'clock and made it to our destination around 1 pm. There's no real defined peak of Gavan hill, it's a much different formation than the surrounding mountains. However, it was quite a hike to get to the top and there was a lot of snow. I loved the snow shoes. They were lots of fun and made it quite easy to stride through the fluffy snow.
Ben and I started talking about how good a burger sounded on the way down. I picked up some ground beef on the way home. I grilled some onions, mushrooms and the burger with a little Worcestershire sauce, broiled the buns, added some Tillamook Monterey Jack cheese and voilà! It was delicious!
