Surviving the Heat Wave

The past few days have been really warm here in Midway. Yesterday I woke up at 6am to find the temp outside near 50F! It cooled down a bit then later went up over 50. I'm happy to say, however, that the castles have faired ok. We got a little drippy during the past few days and the towers have definitely lost some weight but not too much in height. I'm trying to upload some pics showing how the formations turn fragile and frosty looking...almost ghostly. Kinda cool actually. (I can't upload them for some reason...I'll try again tomorrow). With cold nights returning we'll start growing again and the castles will take on a more crystaline appearance.

By the Saturday night I'm hoping to add 4-8' to many of the structures. By the next weekend after that I'm planning to have 5 or 6 archways and tunnels added (if the weather stays good and cold as is forecast). I'll be taking pictures everyday to show the progress towards that.
