Quiet day on this usually populated loop, with a mixed bag of weather - sun, high winds and rain, which arrived a heck of a lot earlier than predicted. Did loop counterclockwise. Micros went on from the get go with ice and snow right from the parking lot. Micros provided enuf traction with the packed snow and ice flows on FW, bare rocks and intermittent ice/snow on ridge. Geenleaf was packed down smooth and with the rain could become a slick luge run. OBP with the rain and warmer temps was mostly exposed wet rock, but the the micros stay on.
Contemplated on the young woman that passed this way last week and the volunteers that follow.
