Just got back from a family event at Retzer Nature Center. It was the promise of toasted marshmallows that got us there but we were also interested in stargazing and night hiking. We wanted to see the hardy souls that would come out on such a cold night and there were actually quite a few.
The snowshoeing and campfire were cancelled and we got there too late for the hike. Still, there were things to do. We had a good, if cold time on a hike of our own. Channel 4 was there so we may see ourselves on the news at 10:00. Hot cocoa was good and chocolatey. The planetarium was showing a program.
temperature when we got there: -6 degrees
windchill temp at top of Observation Hill: -20 degrees
price of admission for this event: $2.00
having something to blog about: priceless
