“Wow! Linda’s one tough cookie... and a neat person. Watch the episode & you’ll see what I mean. On the way out, she plowed trail for all of us for most of 5 miles... through a foot of fresh snow... in the dark... with the temperature around 5 degrees F.

When we stopped to load up, my body temp dropped like a rock because I was sweaty & it was FREEZING. It’s the closest I’ve come to getting hypothermia."
