I woke to find a bit of a change. It was nice that I was camped just below the
snow line. Then I was off to find my
morning croissant before heading up to my first pass into the snow covered
pass. I was a bit cool on the way up and
the clouds did not help. On the top of
the pass the cooling breeze had me digging out the gloves and all my
layers. As I was cruising down the other
side the road forked into two dirt roads with no signs. I choose badly as I drop into dark forested
ravine. I came to some forks in the road
with signs and realized I had chosen the wrong road. I could work my up to the other road so I
headed that way. Also saw that there was
good potential for camping as the area was not populated. Looking up I spotted a nice knoll that I
could camp on and not have anyone running across me. Also leaving the road I picked a way around
the snow that did not leave much evidence of my passing. Found a nice meadow with no snow on it to
camp. Other than the cold forcing me to
head for the sleeping bag right after diner the place was great.
