Most people ventureé out for a short wniie but little serious instruction was able to be carried out. Sunday was little better. but at least the road was abie to be cleared. Some limited instruction - Was aivaH before we packed up an nd Tieaded home. lingoxtunatedy.. the weather completely disrupted this AIC so we will have.to condense the other two to include the required instruction and -:practice.
