1. | With so much of the park closed to skiing after the freezing rain, it was nice to have the trails for just me and my snowshoes. In the distance, I saw only two hard-core skiiers. There was a trade off of conditions. The crust on the snow provided full flotation. However, I had to micro-navigate pools of meltwater everywhere. | ||||||
2. | I feel better about locating #2 this time. Rather than W to trails from #1, S to lake. | ||||||
3. | However, I messed up #3 just as I did last time on the map, driting S. Next time, I'll retrace towards #1 and probably hook up on TCT. | ||||||
4. | |||||||
5. | Pile of rocks are hidden under snow. | ||||||
6. | I stuck to lake shore. Should run this faster next time. | ||||||
7. | I drifted a bit too far S of lake but got on to cliff fine. | ||||||
8. | I was CAREFUL leaving #7 across beaver dam. Ran farther S on trail and had much easier W to parkway, cross, then use pond/marsh but I need to take bearing off cliff N of pond/marsh. | ||||||
9. | W, uphill, down to cross stream, over old road, through GREEN and then used beachlike run around the point, S then N. However, stone pile is not discernible in snow. Next time I'll shoot off fence E of stones. | ||||||
