Note
Beautiful blue skies nearly all day long, and perfect conditions for just about anything other than fly fishing (fly fishing gets tough when everything is frozen over.) When conditions are right, it's best to start out with some biking--just in case things change, which they can. So I did start that way, and did a loop south of town. Saw an empty oil train headed north for a refill, and that's when I was heading north for a refill, too. Then skied, then tacked on some easy running. While running, I discovered incontestable evidence that the chain-sawers had snuck out and sawed up quite a few trees across the multi-use trails. They are so sneaky. Once again, nobody saw them, nobody heard them. But good for them--running on the trails after dark is much easier with the trees out of the way.
