tough sledding today! 11 miles w/ a foot or more of snow for much of it and most of it crunchy I did find a meadow that had some fairly fresh elk tracks, probably feeding at night, but will give it another go tomorrow
9miles today; hit the same meadows from a different direction, much less arduous (less snow, not as steep a climb)- got their before daylight hoping they would linger a little, no such luck and the snow is too crunchy to try to track anything- so goes elk hunting
