Yeah... I was going to do Waumbek but the weather had me turn off. White out this morning from Lincoln to Jefferson had me extend my drive time. Salvaging this day with a few redlines in Lincoln Woods. I had always wanted to see the view from eh East Side Trail.... Very nice. An easy walk out to the tent site and back. Only one cross country skier out today... Isis and I enjoyed the walk... I owed it to her for making her sit in the car for a long time. Day was salvaged and my coffee was earned. |
