I don't like work — no man does — but I like what is in the work — the chance to find yourself. Your own reality — for yourself not for others — what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means. Joseph Conrad
Morning y'all,

It's a beautiful, warm morning up top. The high yesterday reached 51 (!!!) degrees and the overnight low was 35 degrees. It was 44 degrees and clear at 7am observation. The trails are almost entirely clear, there is very little ice remaining towards the top. It looks as though the rain will hold until tomorrow, so get out and enjoy the weekend!

Beautiful pictures! JP, yesterday's sunrise picture seems to have an "unidentified" object or visitor in it. Most likely an airplane, but can't see the wings. Have a good day!
