Ron,
Oh man, we had two inches of snow in the Tennesse Valley (about 850' elevation
here) Sunday and Monday. With temps in the teens-to-30s, I haven't played golf
all week. It's been a bummer. Still some snow on half the green behind my
house. Terrible winter...that was our second snow. :-) The first snow was about
an inch...melted the next day. The Golf Operations Director even extended golf
rounds coupon sales another month because there has been so little play.
Still, an hour from here on mile-high Mt. LeConte (6,250') in the Great Smoky
Mountains Nat. Park, they're forcasting 20" tonight. Was tough hiking to the
top of LeConte in 6" snow on the Alum Cave trail when I was younger. Was
beautiful up there, though. Wind howling and blasting powder snow on the Fraser
fir trees...looked like sombody frosted them with shaving cream...maybe -20°
with wind chill up there that day. Sat under the lodge deck (lodge closed in
winter) with a wide-mouth thermos filled with hot soup, but it would freeze to
the spoon before I could eat it. So, had to drink the soup out of the bottle.
Would never try it in 20"...long drop where the trail runs along some cliffs
and spring water freezes under the snow.
Gatlinburg's ski slope tram will be running non-stop tomorrow. But, we're only
a couple days from a temporary Spring. Snow should be gone tomorrow. Friday is
supposed to be near 60° again and Saturday a bit warmer. Gotta loosen up for
Friday afternoon.

I think I may have one or two somewhere in the shop. I'll look around
tonight and get back to the OP.
Regards,
Ron
BTW, we've had almost 7' of snow so far this winter, and the snow cover is
presently 24". Only 3 more months until Spring!

I feel bad for the OP. Man, all he wanted was to know where to find an
unused EI70! Sadly, I don't have the on topic answer.
