Found a black and white ski glove on Star King Road, uphill side. Moved it out of the track so it wouldn't get driven over and set it black side up so it would be visible in the snow. Not much else I could do. |

| Comments: |
Microspikes were probably the best option up to Star King, but traversing the ridge over to Waumbeck, I wished I hadn't left the snowshoes in the car. But it's very doable with either. Depends largely on preference. |
