    It is cold, wet, snowy, and windy here now.
    It is supposed to warm up some by Saturday.
    I picked the wrong week to show up!

    Well, having reported the morning weather above posting as WX Report, I drove down to the bridge to take a look. As I turned into the parking lot, a hole appeared and the wind dropped off. I took a look and carefully considered for about 1/4 second - "Hey, I can do this".
    There was about a 2 hour window where the wind was down to about 6 to 10 out of the SW. Made a jump, hiked out, then hiked to the top back to the parking lot, got my car and drove down to the park. The grass was dry enough to pack so I did. If you had 2 or 3 rigs, you probably could have done 2 or 3 jumps - if you had a boat and/or a car shuttle back to exit etc. As it was, the wind began to come up over 10 and I ran into rain mixed with some light sleet coming back to the motel. The temp was about 40. This might be the only break for a couple of days, or, being Perrine, it may happen again tomorrow.

    But it ain't a total loss!! Less snow so far than Salt Lake City, thats for sure.

    later,
    NB117 ;-)

    Hey NB117:

    My computer is temporarily down, so I don't have your email address right now, but;

    I'm planning a little expedition to Paraguay, and some other places, from May 13 until May 24 (when I'll head back up to TF for the Memorial Day Madness).

    Interested? Drop me an email.
