Opening Statement

So I am a Blogger sounds nasty but seeing how it may be easier for others to check in to the life of Mapp and Mapps in and around the area of Red Lodge I figured it wouldn't be such a bad deal.

Today we here In the North Country have received 1 ft of snow I don't have a picture yet but I will work on getting one. So the one to the left will have to do for now. So I wrangled my 1987 mint condition Trek Antelope to the office this morning with one hand on the grip and the other on my coffee, and for you that know the of the excellent plow job that our city does you know that it was no small feet in getting here, but I figure riding is much better than walking so I went for it. I am here and only shy a few drops of coffee so not bad I would say. I think that I need to put this snow to better use but seeing how it is the first snow of the year it would be pretty ugly skiing at the mountain. which I hiked last Friday in hopes of making some turns and ended up taking a long hard hike with Cooper up and then did a semi ski semi walk down the mountain. Any way it is a good sign for the start of winter and I am STOKED!

I will take some pictures and update this later.
