    An extended weekend.

    Some friends and I continued a long standing tradition to go to the White Mountains in NH, and go camping.

    We used to be in tents, on a trail off the Kancamangas Highway. We now head to an unimproved cabin. No electric, no running water. No cell signal. To do your business, it's a short walk out back to the outhouse.

    4 nights in the cabin. A touch or normalcy for us.

    It was a cloudy weekend, so some of the snow pictures are flat(white).

    Enjoy.

    Looks like fun mike. How do you make reservations for the cabin? I imagin you need to book well in advance.

    A type of moonshine, loaded with cherries. Tasty, but too sweet for me.

    I got hungry watching your slideshow. Any bears want in on your deal? Nice of the park rangers to come and plow you out!

    No wildlife. Just a few noisy blue jays around.

    It was a very still, quiet few days. Hardly a breeze.

    We got 5inches of sleet, that got plowed.

    I invite women every year. No takers. Just one of my SIL's pictures on the mantle with the candles

    As a kid when my dad went to the Knights of Columbus to have a beer while we waited for my mom to get out of work, I would sneak behind the bar and grab a handful. Love marchino cherries. A friend of mine makes it. Gonna try it next year.

    It wasn't overly cold. Mid-20's during the day. Just a bit colder overnight. It did get to 13f the last morning we were there.

    There's been years with double-digits below zero.
