Alum Creek - Columbus Ohio : 01-30-05

I apparently missed a group of sailors from MI on Saturday. I drove over Sunday a.m. with fingers crossed, unaware of the overnight snowfall but seeing the fresh white ground cover as I came ever closer to the Columbus, OH area. Three boats sailed the perfect, glass-smooth ice (with maybe 2" of fresh powdery snow covering it) from 11:00 am 'til 3:30 pm when I had to start my 4 hour trek back home. Had a fun time anyway, with the steady, mild winds and the snow resistance making for several long hikes a football field or so long. Ol' "Wet Paint" did me proud. Sorry I missed the others...
