Course setting at Weston Bend for the March meet. Today's goal was to do the revised white and yellow courses, add some controls for the more advanced courses that are encompassed in that area, and remove the flagging put up earlier when I thought I could have a flagged path for the white and yellow courses. The associated trails were so overgrown I had to abandon that idea, and redo the beginner courses.

All of the trails were still snow and ice-covered. I didn't fall, but had a bad encounter with an 8"-high piece of barb wire that required first aid. And nothing beats having the backup shoes and dry socks. It was a glorious day in the woods--mid-fifties after lots of cold weather and more to come tomorrow.

After recycling, took ElRay across the street to the Riverfront trail, which starts by the high school tennis courts. Since school is not in session, it was still snow- and ice-covered, and pretty slow going. We ended up taking a side track between the high school and another school. There were tons of geese on the school property, but ElRay is only interested in squirrels. There were two metal cutouts of coyotes on the JV football field, apparently to scare geese, since the Kearney mascot is a bulldog. Anyway, the field with the coyotes was covered in geese.
