Re: Enough of the Cold! I Want to Shoot My Leverguns!

Thats the part I dont like about winter. I mostly miss rideing our quad on the mountain trails. Winter is just too long. Then again I dont miss mowing. We live at cedar city utah. 6000 ft. The mountains run over 10,000 ft behind us so there is a lot of winter.
