1. | 780m | ? | -- | -- | -- | -- | 780m | ? | -- | -- | -- | -- | Once I started 'cros the field on snowshoes I knew this is wasn't I expected. I thought the dangers would be rocks & stumps like in January. However, the knee-deep snow forced me unto any track and broke a bolt in my right shoe's forefoot pad. Nearby bolt on same pad broke last year this time. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The navigation lesson became locating unmapped tracks on map. Any track was better than deep snow which would have kept me on course for three hours. | |||||||||||||||||||||

10. | 430m | ? | -- | -- | -- | -- | 4510m | ? | -- | -- | -- | -- | Went down to beaver pond and SW along water course. With slow ground speed, I was pleased with the navigation. Even so, I found no big tape at 10, only old piece of yellowed yellow tape. Wasted time seeking big tape. | |||||||||||||||||||||
