As soon as my fingers thaw, I will update you about our trek... which, to our credit, took 65 minutes. Like Clay said, we have athleticism on our sides (ok, who am I kidding, my athleticism is at an all-time low after 2 months of poor gym attendance).


Thawed. The climb was beautiful and the view of the Tri Cities breathtaking. The hike up was indeed a workout, and yes, chilly with the wind, though the more rambling path down allowed for Clay to carioca (you know, that crossover thing you do with your feet in football warmups and at Acceleration Minnesota) on the way down. We did take the walk down a bit slower though because, as Clay noted, there are no runaway Anna ramps like the runaway truck ramps on the freeway out here. And everyone we passed was incredibly friendly, making our morning that much brighter. 


So now, we pause to keep up our "live" blogging promise. And to watch Top Play #5 on Sports Center this morning, coming from the Hopkins-Osseo boys state bball game. MN pride. And of course, congrats to Osseo's Coach Sawatzke on the W! Now, we eat, and go watch HUNGER GAMES.
