Six more weeks of winter…

On the first day of February, while that old alchemical mechanic Davinius labored to repair a broken track setter rod, Chadeus Maximus graded and flattened the ski trails to the east of Alturas Lake Creek. Once Davinius had finished transforming the old lead rod to solid gold status, Chadeus went back out to lay down some beautiful classic tracks on the trails he had just so expertly prepared. On the 2nd of February, the day we devote to prognosticating rodents, Chadeus was back out, giving ski trails to the west of the creek a similar treatment while Davinius and an old friend sat home silently contemplating their shadows.
