Well, I don;t know about ya'll but I'm pretty psyched about winter ending here real soon. That means it's time for me to go and dust my gear off that I haven't used since September and have a nice look over it all to see what I have, what I want/need and don't need.

Maybe this is a bit pre-mature since it is only early March, but up here in Alaska it's been in the 30's and 40's and great. Considering only a little over a month ago it was -50 out, I'm happy and getting a little anxious. Only a few months until I probably go out and do some walking before I leave Alaska for good so I've got to get in what I can. Plus, that means shorts, sandals and 23 hours of light, lol.
