End of Feb. Hike

After Church we headed for Mount Magazine for a pleasant Sunday afternoon hike!
We parked at the Visitors Center and hiked the western part of the North Rim, up the road a bit and then on to the Lodge for lunch.
After lunch in front of the Lodge waterfall.
On the North Rim.
After lunch we took the Moss Ridge trail back across the mountain to the visitors center.
A Great Day!

Grandpa Joe's New Boat

Grandpa's newest toy. Bass Tracker -Sun Tracker 21ft 90hp (YES, it will pull skiers!)
These two are crazy!
This one has the changing area and toilet--(that part is down at this time, it's in the thing in front of Joe)
Proud new owners with their toy! Grandpa is having a fit...the weather is too windy and cold for him to take it out to start getting hours on the new motor! "-)

Spur of the moment Angel Fire Ski trip

Ok... this is a picture of Pappa for Colin! What's Pappa doing???
Since our trip to Red River and WolfCreek had got shortened by a few days, (major Blizzard) we had been watching the weather reports to see if there would be any good weekends to ski again before all the Spring Break people got out there. We saw that Angel Fire in New Mexico had some new snow and decided to go there. This was our first time there and it wasn't too bad!
The above shot is one of the restaurants at the base of each lift. They were handy to go into for hot tea or just warm up a bit. That is tea I drank, not the stuff on the sign!
This the the view of some of the lower runs taken from the highway going into the town/village of Angel Fire.
This is the first lift we got on and taken about 1/4 up the hill. What I thought was the top of this lift was just the first of three peaks you went over to get to the top. It was a LONG ride! We stayed pretty much on the upper top of the mountain.
It took a long time to ski the back around the top and middle parts to get to the base at the end of the day.
Joe was standing near a lift waiting for me to take this picture.
After lunch getting ready to start down again!
Crazy wild snow blowing across the road. The wind blew so hard at times it would actually stop me while skiing. Granted I ski slow but good grief!
