Nice course by Sam L kept us mostly out of the really nasty parts of the park. The snow made it a slog at times, but at least it wasn't as deep as I thought it might be. Lots of trail/road route choices, but in most cases the going wasn't any better than in the woods. (Only one very small section of road near the campgrounds was plowed, plus the main road.
O-vangelizing to some runner on the way to 1 (he had lots of questions about what we were doing, how many people do it, who can do it, etc) and entirely lost track of where I was on the trail, so I plowed over to check that the stream was where I thought it should be (it was) and then just followed that up.
Had some issues reading the deep ditches again, similar to those I had at Rosaryville. Depending on where it's located and how long it is, the symbol just looks too much like an index contour.
Did surprisingly well considering my body was already sore (sleeping on the floor didn't help) mildly dehydrated/hung over, and the forest conditions.
