Enjoyed a nice little stroll in the snow. It eased up a couple of times, but then started again shortly after. I love how quiet and peaceful it is right after snowfall. Had a little trouble staying on course in the snow, but this is a mostly off trail hike anyway, so I followed deer prints most of the time. The usual specatular views were not to be seen today. Visibility was pretty lousy. Had total solitude today until running into a bobcat tracker as I passed tank #1 on my return. He was shocked to see me on foot in a snow storm, asked if I saw any cat tracks on my trip. Stayed nice and warm, maybe a little too warm. My shirt and beanie were soaked in sweat until I stopped and changed under a Juniper. The decision to bring dry clothes was a life saver. Drove up to Pine immediately after for food and drinks at THAT Brewery.
