We did a little walking around the lake and grounds today--not quite hiking because there's too much snow!--and generally relaxed.  It's amazing how relaxing an environment can be when there's no cell phone, no phone, no TV.  We got about an hour and a half of operating time in the late afternoon; it was a little windy and cloudy earlier.  Band was not in terrific shape, but we managed seven QSOs together, and almost all of them were ragchews of varying lengths, so it was a satisfying time.  Farthest worked today: New York and New Jersey!  Also Minnesota, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and  Illinois.

Ironically, we worked NY and NJ right after a pair of sisters came over to see what we were doing in the parking lot.  They were on the tour bus with their parents, and they were originally from NY. 

No PSK today after all, in part because the netbook wasn't charged.  I think I need a new battery for it; it's just not holding a charge the way it should.  Nevertheless, a good time was had by all, and we finished when we started getting cold, dinner was being served, and the Optima battery was just about to die.
