Abbreviated Mystery Blazes loop, taking a right at the Powerline trail and heading directly to the esker. In The Dark. Although there's no snow up by the house, there was about a half inch of very old snow left down in the woods. The trails, however, were a different story, hard gray wet ice wherever there had been foot or snowmobile traffic (which was pretty much everywhere). Without spiked shoes, this would have been untenable, but it helped keep the intensity down where I wanted it, although I was briefly working fairly hard at the end on the way up the road. My headlamp didn't seem very bright (I did have it on the low setting), can't remember whether I've charged it recently.
122 days to Jukola. Got work to do, but it should be fine.
