A frozen G-Man is at it again

From: Jay Chamberlain (ae4mk@1bigred.com) | Date: 2001-02-20 12:42:16 UTC-05:00
A wind chill factor down to -31 degrees didn't stop the Jolly (or is that Chilly) G-Man and his frozen assistant Sam from placing 2 new letterboxes on the Appalachian Trail this past weekend.
 
Virginia's Highest and Rhododendron Gap letterbox clues can be found at  www.1bigred.com/users/jayc/letterbox/at.htm
The "Thru Hiker" is also out there in the cold waiting to take a hike.
20 deg sleeping bags don't make it in that weather, so we only lasted one night. I'll have some pictures posted in the next couple of days in case you have never seen a frozen G-Man.
 
Please take along some extra zip-lock bags if you go after these. In my haste to get ready, I forgot to put the logbooks in bags.

What a light-weight I am... complaining about windchill near  +40 degrees over the weekend in Forest Park!  

I used to know what cold weather was!  Thanks for putting it back into perspective!
