Norske Trail to Brown Gate Trail
While the snow cover is much improved from my last posting, the gorgeous spring-like weather could bring the ski season to an early close, so I had to get out over the weekend and enjoy the deep, but increasingly slushy snow. You will also notice something very different about this post. As a rule of […]…Continue Reading Norske Trail to Brown Gate Trail
I’m coming for you Axelrod!
I realize that many of my students haven’t actually seen any of the Rambo movies.
