Wow, we were very cold for 2 weeks!  Waking up to between -25 and -30 each morning.  It was getting up to -15 some days in the afternoon but it was cold!  Today we woke up to -15 and celebrated!  Went for a snow show this afternoon when it reached -9.  We both  felt it in our butts… need to get back into shape.  Today we took snipers and cleared all the hanging the branches from our trail so we took longer then normal.  Now it’s cleared and ready to go.  Lightning creek that is at the end of the trail is completly frozen over and now we can hike either direction as far as we want.  It’s so quiet, can’t hear anything at all over there.  Total peace.  Love it!
