I'll be up your way this weekend hitting the trails.That's hilarious!
I absolutely love living up north with the strong four seasons. It has been bitterly cold here though for a while now. Had -12F (-22C) this morning but it warmed up very nicely to about +10F today. Had to laugh the other day when I asked the wife what the outside temp was and she said "about 10" and I was like, "above or below?"
I was in Prince Rupert BC for a couple of days a few years ago (in the summer) and what a rugged/beautiful area.
