Caution: Be sure to duck!
Breaking my trail open to Lost Cabin Lake yesterday was a great way to spend an afternoon. It was a beautiful day, warming up to three degrees below zero. As I made my way down the trail, I was mindful of tree branches and snow-heavy trees that lay across the trail. On this particular tree I had to duck so I didn't bump my snow machine helmet on it. I felt a personal responsibility to ensure this trail hazard disappeared and didn't cause a problem for anyone returning to the lake. I will likely take a saw and remove it tomorrow. Today, I simply hiked back to the tree with my fearless dog, Dozer, to grab a photo and enjoy today's above-zero temperature.
