| Winter-Spring running: wild windy winter conditions with blowing, drifting snow and ice up on the west rim of the NF, but was only dressed for spring. Came back to town and ran in The Flats, where it was sunny, calm, and like spring. Clothing performed much better. Played the conditions well! |

| Lots of new snow from last night, many ski tracks, many deer and deer tracks. But still no signs of grooming activity or snowsnakes. Ground still not quite frozen everywhere yet, and it would probably take a little more snow to make it worthwhile to fire up the machines. Chilliest day of the new water season so far. If it's 17F in Laramie as I write, it must have been colder up top. So fine! |

| Out-of-category winds were raging as I ran at mystery reptile topo feature map, and my condition, given that I was wearing O' pants, could be best decribed as "too much wind, too little pants."
As I was driving home, clouds of snow were visibly being blown off the top of the Snowies--it must have been something on that highest ridge. |

| It seemed like it could be a prosecutable offence to pass on the chance to run on some new snow, so not wanting to run that risk, I ran trails at Happy Jack instead. In truth, there wasn't much snow left by the time I ran, but what was there was nice and crunchy. It was chilly out, but I kept myself warm with the pleasant thought that here it was, October, and despite having spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in the great outdoors this year already, not a single tick has ended up on me so far in 2007.
