1 year ago, Isis was attacked by 4 dogs in our neighborhood. Today, I wanted to have a better day. I wanted to go to Eisenhower but reports on trail were that you could not see 20ft in front of you. So we opted for Pierce. The wind was picking up so, we got to the junction and Isis wanted to head down. Microspikes were good enough but if drifting occurs with the wind, snowshoes will be ideal. Great day to be out. |
