Is it spring?

Is it spring?

This winter has been a really odd one.  We were heading into Christmas with very little snow but then right on Christmas day we got some.  It was short lived though and January ended up being one of the warmest and driest on record.  Now here we sit on February 7th with a temperature in the low 70s and I find myself yearning to breakout the trailer and hit the road.  Our 2015 planning is well underway but our first…
