March 2011 - Phil & Bud attempt to walk to the observatories to
retrieve some equipment. We made it in about 20 feet from the main
entrance and had to give it up; the snow was just too fresh and powdery.
We kept sinking into the snow too deep. You can barely see the dome of
the 22" almost completely covered with snow.
April 4, 2011 - Success! Bud and friend Jon,
on skies, make it to the observatories to retrieve some equipment. It
was a bear to dig out the snow in front of the door.
