A beautiful blue sky morning til I reached Killington area which had
low lying cloud cover. Headed up logging road which is still drying from
winter and spring rains. Went into woods at 2nd cairn and had a good
straight bearing which took me right to the canister. Could not open but
took a picture. By now the cloud cover had turned to drizzle so I decided
to follow the herd path down. About half way down I lost the path and the
skies opened up. Heading almost due north I came out between the 1st & 2nd
cairns. Lesson learned. Stick with compass & do bushwhacks on sunny days! |
