And some more:
At the mouth of one, into the next (rivers that is.)
Let’s see, which track should we follow?
As close to a groomed trail as I saw - this was also 60 miles from the nearest set of human made tracks of any sort.
And then April 1:
Looking for a turn around...
Oops! Too late.
That's 2-3 feet of snow with a foot or more of water beneath and saturating it (the whole snowy area in the foreground). The only firm area was the old track where the 550 is sitting. It, in turn, was creating a dam of sorts which was holding back the water which would otherwise have run to the low side of the ice. It was a mess, not a big one but enough that we took our sweet time. No sense having a heart attack in the midst of that beauty. Besides, I had all four boys along and it was worthwhile for them to help fix a mess like that. Even though we had spent better than an hour crossing the previous river due to similar conditions, we opted after this to turn around, cook some sausage snacks over a fire, and get home to drier clothes.

I'd sure hate to break down 60 miles from the nearest set of footprints!

Hate to breakdown? Me too! I was getting spooked riding that old rig, the one with 21,000 miles now. (Sad thing is, I trust it more than my low miles 550 SuperSport.) I carry a GPS in a warm pocket, a handheld VHF also in a warm pocket, and snowshoes (so as to climb to the top of a high enough point from which to make a radio call.) Snowshoes, tarp, and few other useful things are in the sled. Worst case scenario, someone would come looking if I didn't return by dark. An overnight would likely be the worst I'd suffer. The walk could be long, but the exit doors from the planet are no more common than in town, they just look different.
