Mmmm, nice comfortable night in my new Hennessy hammock! (One can note the dearth of snow on the ground. Temperatures probably never dipped much below freezing, if at all. What a gyp!) |

Finally found some snow on the way up to the Paradise visitor center. |

Clif hid his Triumph Tiger under his jacket, trying to "blend in" with the rest of the, well, non-Tiger crowd. I, on the other hand, don't seem to have much to hide. |
Riding down from Paradise, Clif on his Tiger. |
Yeah, sure, there was _loads_ of snow, dude, awesome slip 'n slide ridin' all over! |
That rare and fabled creature, the Snow Rooster. |
Marco had a hairy encounter with ice.
