Rick Massie drove over to my house and we loaded up my Bimmer and took off towards North Bend, Washington.  <\/p>\n<p>Due to all the snow, the avalanche danger was high&#8230;.so we decided to snowshow the service road on Mt. Teneriffe.  This road is wide and has elevation gain of over 3,800 feet, perfect for a snowshoe work-out and safe too.  There was only one other car at the trailhead when we started and we caught up with the two of them about two miles up; one of them had a broken snowshoe and we ended up giving him a couple of straps to fix it.  As we passed them, Rick and I were breaking snow and it was getting deeper with every step.  After fifty yards of plowing through the deep snow, our legs would start to burn; we took turns taking the lead to give each other a rest.  <\/p>\n<p>With the trail already broken, the other two caught up with us around the four mile mark.  We let them pass us, but&#8230;within twenty yards, there were already exhausted.  All four of us ended up taking turns taking the lead.  We ended up having lunch at the five mile mark, it&#8217;s my favorite part of the trail&#8230;.a long stretch of the road that is exposed and has big views.  After descending and total exhaustion we stopped at our usual spot, North Bend Bar and Grille for a beer and food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mt.
