Yeah, it's sad and sobering. One more person now dead from the storm this afternoon.

I must say, that's a shockingly lame response from Alpina. Is there no way to talk to a "customer service" person? (My apologies if that's already been addressed in previous Alpina posts)

GT, Jay's still got coverage on a couple few trails, if you want it. Probably can see it from out your way, maybe?
