Onward thru the fog
Leave it BETTER than you found it!
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!

old, but......
only -40
and dont ask my G.I. Joe impression at -110*F in the buff
Last night Moab hit -3ºF! They received a foot of snow and more is coming! The La Sals even have avalanche warnings in place! I would love to see the contrast of red rock under that much white. I wonder if icicles will start to form under some of the arches. Throw in a VX or 2 and you would have some spectacular images! Sorry for the partial T.J., just thought some would find it interesting...
