Comments
Comments: Snow-depth was only a few inches in general. I had anticipated more snow and used snowshoes because there was just enough and the terrain was smooth enough that they were okay on thin cover.

I took the trail up to Thompson Hill and then bushwhacked northwest towards Murdough hill. I crossed the road and ascended the peak-highpoint is recognized. From there, I headed south towards little Thompson hill. I crossed a road and passed a home near the col. I bushwhacked up to the logged highpoint with some nice views-highpoint is recognized. I then bushwhacked down to Country Road.
