I got up a little before dawn and headed south to a reservoir which supposedly had a lot of Bald Eagles. No baldies, but a very nice dawn! Not 3 miles further south and I started hitting sleet, another few miles and it was snow and by the time I got to Alpine (about 20 miles south of Springerville) it was a full on snow storm. I was loving every minute of it. I have lived in FL for so long I had forgotten what an amazing time of year this is. Man I am going to hate to leave this place, even though I miss my wife and home very much. Temperatures at home are in the 60's, here they were in the 20's. But it is so dry that it feels really comfortable.
The only time I hated the white stuff was REFORGER 1988 when we were living out in it for two weeks and laid our sleeping bags ON TOP of the stuff.
