Glad to hear. What we consider winter in California and what you consider winter up your way is so different to me that it just boggles my mind to see guys out there having a great time in such cold weather. I mean we get lots of snow in the Sierra in California, but nothing like the temps you have up North.

Reading the trip reports is really fascinating to me. It really is a whole different world up your way. It seems like there are lakes everywhere. I saw some pics of guys cutting holes in the ice for water or for fishing.
