    I plan on posting some winter pics soon, but today it's in the 80's. We are suppose to have a front move in tonight and drop us into the 50's with a high around 65 tommorrow. Actually our coldest time of the year is Jan./Feb., so I might have to wait till then to post winter pics. oh and what is all that white stuff ya'll have on your VX's ?
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Had a terrrible rain storm in Florida the other day. No snow but 80 degree temps. Must have 3 inched of water on the road. VX went through the puddle with no problems. Seriously, I feel for you guys in the cold north.

    We love the winter up here and the more snow the better.
    Give me a few feet of snow and I grab the snowshoes and crampons and head to the Catskills. There's no such thing as too much snow or too cold. My ever dependable VX always gets me there.

    On this day I headed out at 6 degrees below zero solo up an unfamiliar mountain without trails and had a blast!






    I love it when I can break a trail solo after a big snow.


    All the Catskill fire towers have absolutely fantastic views.


    This is a color photo. I made it up there thru about 3.5' of snow. The wind up on the tower was about 40-50 mph. I could only stand it for a few minutes at a time taking a few fast photos.






    I can't live without the mountains and streams and waterfalls and snowy winters!

    I love it too, when I can drive 1.5 hours, play in it all day long, then drive back to 70 degrees and sunshine.

    That pic of the waterfall is awesome!
