BOW

I just sent in my registration for the 2009 winter BOW session! Almost all of my girlfriends have taken part in Becoming an Outdoors Woman - 4 of us participated last year and a couple others did it the year before that. This year we managed to get a group of 8 or 9 together for the weekend. I feel sorry for anyone else sharing our cabin.

It's a blast - basically women of all ages can come and learn outdoorsy skills through four three-hour sessions. Last year I took archery, firearm safety, fly fishing, and intro to shotgun. By now everyone has heard me rave about the shotgun session -- I loved it! We got to actually shoot at moving clay targets. This year I signed up for snowmachining, dog sledding, smoking/pickling fish, and rifle markswoman. BOW isn't until mid-March, so it's a long wait until then.

My profile pic for Blogger is from last year's BOW -- here I am posing with one of Lance Mackey's old sled dogs (he won the Iditarod last year).

We stopped on the way home from Chickaloon to take some photos -- so pretty.
