Outta There.

Minus ten this AM. Winter has finally come for a few days except there is no snow.

A couple of diehard skiers woke early Sunday, drove in the dark along the highway east of town and parked by the side of the slushy icy road. They hadn't gone more than a few feet up the trail when they decided that lack of snow meant they should carry their skis. it began too rain, big fat drops splashing on their heads, they kept trudging upwards. They started talking about swimming and the nice hot steam room at the pool and then they decided, what the hell, almost ran back down to the car.

Next weekend they're going to the Pine Pass .
