This was the second effort up this side of the route. Steph did it in style, Erick couldn't find his way. Rob took a fall and some ice with him...don..took 3 falls and the rest of the ice.

Walking out, with dog on the leash, we met ALL the farmers horses standing in our path. we carefully picked our way between them however they were following us. From 1/2 way to the road from the woods we had 15horses walking 10' behind us. a bit funny...a bit spooky.
