On furlough Friday and also on Saturday drove up to Cheese Camp road to snow shoe. Friday was sunny and some nice people had packed down the trail with their snowmobiles and then left. We headed down and then skirted a hill until we came to one of the streams that empties into Union reservoir.
On Saturday it was overcast and some handsome men with their sons were just breaking camp in the pullout. They had a cool canvas tent with a heater so they must have been very snug. This time we walked down to the marshy area before the road goes up again. Commando dug all the way into the dirt after an interesting smell and I rested on a rock and drank my Vitamin water.
As I was getting my gear off at the car a pack of coyotes started howling over on the hill where Robb's hut is located. Commando seemed interested and I put him in the car before he decided to go investigate.
The snow is very wet and heavy but not very buoyant. It looks like it will be good for the drought conditions and, at the very least, stave off disaster for one more year.
