On the Trail Again!

I just spoke with Rick at 9:40 p.m. and he is back on the trail. He had some chili and some R&R at the Gateway Store. Warming up helped ease some aches acquired during the first 30+ miles. Rick said that his thermometer is reading 9 below at the moment. Maybe a cloudy sky will mean that the temperature will not drop much below that overnight. I just looked at weather.com and the low predicted for tonight is 3 below. I guess Rick must be creating some "wind chill" making his reading lower than what is predicted! We all know the quirks of weather forecasting. He thinks that he will reach Melgeorge's in the morning but also realizes that the overnight could bring some challenges which would make his arrival later than planned. I will keep the blog updated as I receive new information from Rick. Kristy
