Mt Clinton Road is definitely open on the Crawford side (Roads Roundup states it's closed). Clear pavement all the way out to the lot, sub-optimal frost heaves but 'tis the season. There is a large tree down across the entrance to the lot but there's enough room to scoot in passed it. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Jackson stayed home today as I expected it to be a little too icy for him, it was the right call, at least on the Eisenhower end of things. Saw Alton & Cole headed up to Pierce, Cole looked like he was having a lovely time. |

The mountaineer somehow managed to lose his cigar, if you find it, enjoy. |

So nice to get outside after being on lockdown since Thanksgiving with a respiratory infection. It was a beautiful day up there. Icy icy. I wore my rockspikes all day, which required some care on my part to keep my bum from touching. Sharp spikes or even full crampons wouldn't have been the worst choice in a few places. |
