Winter retreat

We spent the extended weekend at our friend's (Blair & Marjorie) house in Jay NY near LP (Lake Placid for the flatlanders)

We left around 5pm Thurs and arrived at 12:30 Fri. I figured we would have a few drinks to unwind but ended up drinking until about 4:30. Blair woke up around 3 and promptly joined us for some cognac. What a refreshing effect being in the mountains has!

Here's the liquor stock:

We did get out despite the cold, about 3 F at night and high of about 22 during the day. We visited John Browns grave and farmsite near the ski jumps.

Dorinda's new rabbit fur vest ! Thanks to the rabbits who gave up their fur.

We also rode the bobsled at Mt Von Hoevenberg, its the the lower half of the 1980 course. You ride with a steerman and brakeman and reach speeds of above 50 mph and pull at least 2 g's on the curves. What an experience!
