ASV and Silver Peak Hike after a Winter Storm

New Years eve weekend 2006 near town of Portal on east side of Chiricahua Mtns. Spent the first day working on Tom's ASV home as snow fell in the Chiricahuas, the next on a nice hike up Silver Peak after the storm passed. Tom's photos from same trip are viewable at https://pbase.com/mozdzen/fun_and_games
