If you don't have slush, you have very slippery ice... you need spikes for your boots... there are lots of brands that slip over the shoe.

Here are some pictures of our trip back then.. I never did upload the first ones... but you will get the idea.

Pray for Snow for next weekend..

So IG, did we go today?? Is it any different then conditions were last week? You must be chomping at the bit to set up the new camera.
