Nice slow. day… I didn’t do any Of the things that I “had” to do… And instead spent a good portion of the day walking with my friend James up on some new trails I’ve never been on a behind Corcoran ski area.… There’s a large ridge that raises sharply on the town side of Richmond. I’ve been up there before but haven’t explored it much. We took a 5 1/2 mile loop up and over… Some great views

And really nice snow

we came down through the old Richmond cemetery… It was interesting seeing some of the very old stones way up in the field

Once we got back to Cochran’s I headed down to Overocker park to meet my friend JOHN to see if we could stick out a better trail from the Overocker parking lot to the river. We made a note to do that when the Bracken had all died down. We found some cool stuff down there… And maybe even a path for a trail

OK… Face with a decision whether I stay up a couple more hours and program or go to sleep…

sleep wins !

note all, nite sam
