i have always dealt with local credit unions. Being local keeps their interest closer to home as in they want the local industry, housing, etc succeed and are more willing to help out . Any time they hand out grants or support charities, it goes to local outreach and not who-knows-where in...
That's too bad. I was really looking forward to riding Saturday. Had hoped 5" in town equaled a foot up top. Hopefully at least visibility will be better.
Silly question: it seems to me Queest gets mentioned the least around here. Is there a reason for it? Less snow? According to sled sicamous' description its terrain is in between blue/owlhead and eagle pass. Or is the cabin not nice enough:)
Even if your cot is off the ground, you still need/should use an insulating mat as a thermal barrier between the sleeping bag and cold air underneath. Makes a huge difference.
