Forget the Hatch Act. Stir the primordial soup, and pretty soon there will be wondrous results emerging and spreading their wings, just like the Caddis only bigger.

Strange to feel more comfortable outside in the open than in town in a "real" bed. <br /><br />Yes, it finally warmed up above 20F at night, which is about my limit with this gear and for being solo for me.<br /><br />Hope you get out soon too!!!Joan Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396313531820725640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-61941396584713563922017-02-16T07:50:52.169-07:002017-02-16T07:50:52.169-07:00No snow at these elevations.

I'm anxiously looking forward to it. I had a small window of good weather and looked for a possible nearby option but couldn't find the right place. BTW did you ever test out the new pack? Since it's a new season I'm thinking I'll give it a go. Looks like you choose a fab place.Jaunting Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795965535070333412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-43327114021087776202017-02-15T13:43:03.030-07:002017-02-15T13:43:03.030-07:00And on the ground !And on the ground !Steve Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670542099079855964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-35480828064009416582017-02-15T13:42:21.387-07:002017-02-15T13:42:21.387-07:00Good to see you out and about again .
