El Nino? What El Nino? President's Day weekend was less than ideal for skiing (we assume), but perfect for playing tennis and hiking part of the Arnold Rim Trail. We wanted to take Nate and Julie to the top of Cougar Rock, a semi-steep 3 hour jaunt with great views, one very wide river to cross, and ladybugs galore on the trail back. In fact, we've never seen so many ladybugs, all clustered along the bushes for several hundred of feet. Apparently there's a limit to how many ladybugs should be crawling on you at one time.
