Mike set a practice course at Rockhaven (using mini markers). I decide to do the longer option of 5-3-1-2-4.
There were tons of animal tracks in the fresh snow, and I sometimes got distracted as I looked at them. They also helped show some nicer ways down the slippery hills, and highlighted the smaller trails (animals are smart and know how to save energy).
I missed 4 slightly, since I forgot to look up as I was trudging up the hill. When I get tired I just put my head down and plod along.
Highlight of the day: I drove over the dam going to and from the park. I haven't seen many bald eagles yet this winter, but today I saw 4 going and 5 coming back. Some were in trees, some were flying and two were soaring. So beautiful.
