Note
Skied and cut it short after enjoying some skittery, icy conditions for the right amount of time. That allowed me to run longer, and I ended up going for something over 2 hours; it's been weeks it seems since I've been out for that long.
I ran down to, and along Lodgepole Creek, eventually off the trail and crossing the creek to visit a control from a Yellow Pine course from several years back--the race there that Ali C. won, whichever year that was. I couldn't remember for sure what the control itself was, and I was kind of thinking it was a lone ponderosa pine, but as I got close I recognized double boulders under the tree, so it was probably a boulder control.
Then I ran through the Yellow Pine Campground itself. I do that several times a year, usually when nobody is there (and it's closed for the winter half of the year). It never fails to serve up many memories, all positive. Today while I was running through it the names that came to mind were the Dominies (don't think I've seen Mark and Barb since the last time they were there), Ross and Sam, and Don and Marit Davis. I always run the whole loop in the campground, and I always think of Marit and Don at the far end, because that is where they were camped in their big truck drawn trailer...
