Even when planned adventures don’t go as planned, I don’t think I’ve ever regretting setting a stupid early alarm (midnight in this case) for something fun.

This morning’s planned long backcountry ski ended up not even being four hours, but that shorter timetable still crammed in the fun: a moose, a fun towline adventure with a plow, a cougar, a fox. All in all, great way to start a day.
There were no photos, it being roughly 3:30 am, but the second time I saw this particular plow driver he asked if I’d ever been towed on skis. “Only by my dog.” He explained he’d always wanted to tow someone on skis with the plow but it was illegal in town, so we gave it a try on this back road.
Little bit later ran into another plow driver who, looking like a cross between the Marlboro Man and Santa, informed me he was about to come back my way “like a bat out of hell” so I should switch sides of the road behind him. Sure enough, he flew by going at least sixty a few minutes later.
Hey now, both times I’ve had to turn around courtesy a stubborn moose have involved midnight alarms. You wouldn’t want to deprive me of that fun, would you?
