Yesterday Paul and I went around our trail we worked on last winter. Started off going south from the Hedlund marsh and down to our marked trail we cut last winter. With the lack of snow this year there was more than enough obstacles sticking up through the snow. It was difficult manuvering through the bush, at one point there is a narrow gap between rocks where the creek runs this year there was barely enough snow and ice to get over it.
Finally got down to Gowganda Lake and across to where we cut the long trail across to the North arm. This was even tougher in spots than the last area and when got about two thirds of the way through we lost the flagging we were following. This section didn't get flagged as we run out last year and never got back to flag it. Some areas we could follow by looking where we cut on the sides of trees and branches.
At last we were in the North Arm and it had started snowing real heavy (this is where I took the pics). From there north to the snowmobile trail into Single Lake and west on the highway back to Hedlund Marsh. Paul had been tracking on his GPS and sent me the file, the new trail measures in at 7.2 Km.
