I eventually traded it in on a '72 gun-metal blue Javelin, which I wish I still had.<BR/>But this is one cracker who has had her fill of cold. My first snow experience was in IN when I was about 17.

Thanks for dropping by. <BR/>Our enthusiasm for the cold is why northerners in the know call us "Floridiots". They may have a point, but bring on the snow! <BR/>:) Today it is 72 and steamy, so I'm needing some coldness.<BR/><BR/>Swampy,<BR/>When it comes to snow, we southerners are all tetched.

I love hiking in the snow too.<BR/><BR/>I've spent a lot of time riding and hiking in the Smokey Mountains. Beyond the crowds it's a magical place to be. I love the mountain streams and the dense fog makes me feel like I am back in dinosaur times. Did you ever see a bear in the wild there? I never did.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your adventure...you made me feel like I was right there experiencing it with you. You're a great writer and I can't wait to read about the highspeed chase. I certainly hope that you weren't after me...GASP!Sandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1165152706672537272006-12-03T08:31:00.000-05:002006-12-03T08:31:00.000-05:00I went to Michigan in the middle of winter one tim...I went to Michigan in the middle of winter one time. I remember spending much of my visit staring out the window, fascinated by the fact that the snow never melted. The folks in the neighborhood I was visiting were happy 'cause I volunteered to shovel snow for everyone. Of course, they thought the little southern girl was a bit tetched in head...swamp4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500364141244115390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1165148574365846402006-12-03T07:22:00.000-05:002006-12-03T07:22:00.000-05:00Oh yea, I can so relate.

My neighbors here in Northern Arkansas are stunned to see me cheerfully trucking thru the occasional snows we get wearing lots of Down and a huge smile. We have a mild enough climate here that snows are a treat.<BR/>Also got to enjoy the glazed ice on Friday during a short trip to Missouri. The sun hit the trees and grass just right. All appeared to be dripping in diamonds.<BR/>Mainly just want you to know I really enjoy your posts. Am here every day but will quietly go back to lurking.<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1165145699174654792006-12-03T06:34:00.000-05:002006-12-03T06:34:00.000-05:00Another wonderful and interesting post!

Anytime your nostalgia for freezing your fanny off overwhelms you and you need a refil so to speak, you are very welcome to stop up here in January or so. The kid (who also voluntarily does those cold outdoor things) will hike you up Seven County and through the woods and frozen ravines. There is plenty to see and I can promise you lots of cold. By the end of January this year we will have home grown pork sausage on hand and we already have the tapped-on-the-farm maple syrup for the pancakes to provide the warming up part of the equation.
