Feb 9, 2008



The trail sure was covered with snow and ice today, just enough to have good traction on one step and no traction on the next one! Only to toughest, most dedicated runners would risk life and limb out here today - must be why Jason was out spending 5 hours in training. Actually, it was plenty warm on Saturday making it a great run for the most part - just those steep hills that resemble toboggan runs that take your breath away. The creeks are running fast and cold with little chance of a dry crossing - but that only last a little while.
The photos this week are from the back side of Briar Hill - most of you have never seen this view. Briar Hill is near the shear cliff that you can see about a mile or so after Heaven's Gate aid station. The other photo is of my girl and I looking at the ice blocks in the tree. Amazing how those blocks get there!
