Snowmobile!   I am heading-out in the morning for Missouri. Will be gone 7-days, maybe eight. Riding alone to get down there... so I can keep my own pace. Crossing the Mississippi has been restricted by some bridge closings due to the major flooding. I had intended on riding along the river's west-bank... however that plan is scratched due to road closings. I'll be sure to take a raft and paddles... and avoid anything called "sh!t creek".

Snow later today for us. I am getting sick of this weather but there is a silver lining to the forecast, 70's by this weekend.

At this rate, no. They will still be ice covered.  By late June they will be nice and clean.

Hope you are having a great time Greg. We are supposed to be near 70 this weekend. Go figure.

Long ride for my back... sadly to discover.
45 degrees for most of the first leg with high winds at a bad angle for my headings. 'Bout blew me out of my lane a few times. Supposed to rain off and on here tomorrow, but good for the rest of the week. Hope the snow doesn't last long. I saw where Waterman (Joel) said he is now beginning to wonder if there will be ice on some of the roads for the national. Studded racing tires on dirt-bikes I guess...

I have yet to burn a tank of gas. Looks like we'll be just on the outside edge of the snowfall this time though.
It might be a challenge even to get in a good 'warm-up' ride before the National!

Looks like our friends in Minnesota need to move. Geez...
 In this area, the old gardeners would always say to never plant until after Mother's Day -- because it could frost or snow. Maybe there is something to that statement.
