While the the HMW may not have as much elevation change as other places what it does have is glorious beauty. Kathy and I stopped any number of times just to enjoy our surroundings. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't have to rush through so fast…

Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
