WINTER QUARTERS ACTIVITY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Activity in winter quarters is always fast paced. This year is no different. We are busy preparing the equipment for the 2011 season as well as providing care for the animals. The routine maintenance and care keeps everyone busy. This year it has been extraordinarily difficult to keep the animals and ourselves warm. The snow has melted and the forecast is calling for warm, dry weather for the next several days. We can now refocus on getting ready to "get on the road".
