Only in Oregon do you snowshoe with an umbrella...or could if you aren't an Oregonian and don't  harbor a slight disdain for umbrellas--as many Oregonians are apt to do. Five students braved the decidedly un-winter-like temperatures (mid 40s) and drizzle for a walk in the woods at Government Camp Monday, the day before Finals Week. The O'Leary Family graciously opened their cabin to the group, providing pizza and hot chocolate after students learned about the fickle nature of snowshoe bindings and worked up an appetite over what ended up being a two to three mile trek. The event was free and the Outdoor Club provided most of the snowshoes. The snow was dirty and crunchy, an icy slop compared to the ideal--fresh, dry powder. Alas, the students enjoyed themselves despite the conditions and a bit of sledding was squeezed in as well.
