Ken Farnham was camping here at Sawbill less that two weeks ago.

3/20/12 – Ken Farnham was camping here at Sawbill less that two weeks ago. He has a beautiful, large canvas tent with a wood stove, cots, a table and a kitchen. He sent along this great picture of his 11 year old daughter, Seda, enjoying a snowshoe hike.

Seda is Armenian and her name means “Spirit in the Forest” and her father says, “She certainly is.”
It’s hard to believe that they were skiing and snowshoeing less than two weeks ago. The snow is all gone now, except for piles and some drifts in shady areas. Some of the small ponds in the area have lost their ice and it looks like some lakes will start to open up within the week. This is, of course, unprecedented since weather records have been kept. Take a look at the dramatic temperature change on our weather blog. – Bill
