Cathy re your reply whispers of the north. LOL oooh boy I know that cold wind too, albeit lower latitude, but perhaps higher altitude. I grew up at just under 10,000 feet just outside the easter'ly bounds of Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park, where my folks had a house near Long'S Peak. nothing like the smell of wet wool and down drying in a snowcave (trying to cool - and dry - off after digging it despite outside sub-zero temps and recovering inside much warmer cave) . "soon i will go forth ... to that wild and barren land where nature takes it's course" - what a great song. It's my "snowshoeing song" when I am getting psyched up the night before going through gear, etc. stay warm up there Cathy, thanks for the reply
