We had to abort the hike - the area we planned to hike in is experiencing severe flooding (Kat - I was planning to hike out of your old stomping grounds - Frozen Head Park toward the firetower above Petros - part of both Highway 62 and Highway 116 are under water - can't get in from either direction - bet the waterfalls would be awesome if I could reach 'em )

So, with deep snow advisories to my north and east and flooding to my west and south --- retail therapy is in order -- we are going looking at ultralite equipment and maybe walking a trail if the wind dies down - it is snowing and very windy here.
