We continue to hope for more snow and I know the northeast would gladly give it up. We'll enjoy the unseasonable warmth and keep the outdoor sports going. Snowshoeing is a little crunchy slidey, cross country track seems to be holding, and Mark reports the mountain has some brown patches showing at lower levels but is still good skiing.

We made the drive up to Taylor reservoir to see the sights. Just missed a big ice fishing tournament but there were two guys there drilling away. It was 14 above as opposed to the -14 it has been on previous visits at this time of year. The reservoir has had recorded temps as low as -53, I think a state record but not sure. Anyway, damn cold.
The hog trough was active but not swamped. Mark said lighting conditions were difficult to see the fish and they like to hang on the bottom not eating unless something practically jumps in their mouths.

| Ducks! Fish eating Mergansers to be exact |
Lots of water in the Taylor. Crazy mild winter.
Took the recommendation of a friend and hit this Mexican restaurant in Gunnison. Tiny, tiny place that's been here 5 years, and the best so far in these parts. And if you can't make out the name from the grand sign, it's called Anejo.
Snow shoeing this time on the common ground to see how the pond is doing. Happy to report water flow seems good so hopefully all the trout are surviving.
Quite a bit of travel on the horizon. Mark is on a business trip this week and end of next we fly to VA to babysit Miss Penny and Juliet. Tiffany and Chris are Aruba bound - great fun for them, and we'll be sure to pack the run after fast moving small children shoes. Lastly, exciting news - Tiffany and friend Becca have launched a blog called popandbanter.com. It's a lifestyle blog packed with info about all things current. Fun and very informative. Check it out!
