I lost my favorite coffee mug. It is a purple 12 oz CamelBak Hot Cap. I am devastated. I hope someone who reads this happens upon it and enjoys it because its discontinued and it would be a shame for it not to be found. |

I broke the law and took the railroad to get on the Frankenstein Cliff trail. Existing trail was broken by some barebooters but no issues with snowshoes. Snow was't more than foot deep off the trail. There were a couple of blow downs past the Outlook but I was able to go under them. Could be a little trickier with a bit more snow and then not a problem with a lot more snow. Arethusa Falls trail was packed so I took off the snowshoes and walked down. The waterfall was frozen but it was still nice. |
