Thursday we got about 6" overnight.   I wanted to go out and shoot 
beautiful snow scenics, but knew my daughter would be bored and cold 
(schools were closed).  So I tried to combine both of our wants.

To my dismay I found that a Deardorf with a Crown Tripod is not the 
most stable on your typical plastic saucer type sled while traversing 
down "deadman's hill"  I think next time I may use the Majestic tripod 
and a Flexible Flyer.   Although from the mutterings of my pre-teen 
daughter  (...never been so embarrassed....,  ....how could you... and 
some other stuff I couldn't quite make out)  I may have to go it alone 
next time.


And as for Mandell and his ViewMaster findings, it's a shame you didnt 
get there earlier, I'm certain you just missed a brown American 
Viewmaster Personal camera with both the 24" and the 36" close up 
attachments.
