Total Distance
22.30

Incredible run from top of left fork hobble creek following 22 miles of squaw peak 50 course to big springs. Bozung hill and windy pass not bad, snow but not a huge amount. Surprisingly (for me) was the amount of snow of the descent from windy to big springs. very difficult navigating and trying to stay on the trail with 6 ft of snow. got lucky and using my mad radar stayed on course and got the group down. incredible day.

What is this "mad radar" of which you speak, experience?

Hey Neasts, radar =

A. having done the course several times know the general direction of the trail to begin with.

B. it's an intuitive thing having grown up playing in the mountains, following deer trails, running trails--way finding though senses not just eyes and head. I'm sure you're one of them who can do just that. Like a scout :)

Finding the right trail is like picking the perfect food for the perfect occasion. Reminds of this:
