<\/a><\/p>\nLeon Levy Preserve
\n? miles (cell phone battery quit)
\nmild sun
\nlight crust of snow<\/p>\n
Interesting to hike with snow on the ground. The trail becomes obvious from other people’s and dogs’ tracks. This is a surprise. <\/p>\n
Retraced the place I got lost again. I had plenty of time before sunset, so ventured the big loop on to the yellow trail. Adding a little blue\/purple extension that took me all the way to the southern boundary of the preserve. <\/p>\n
Learning the trail marking system, how an intersection is shown with a pattern. <\/p>\n
Headed off down the “green” trail, which is new and not on the map. Where does this go? Reflecting how many times in my life I have asked that question and headed off – wisely or unwisely. <\/p>\n
I met two huskies and a woman coming toward me on the green trail. The dogs were beautiful, calm and friendly. I spoke to the woman, asking her where this trail intersected ahead. She gave me good advice. Another way of unlosting. <\/p>\n
The parking lot to White to Blue to continued Blue to Purple to Yellow\/Purple to Yellow to Green (unmapped) to Red (unmarked and unmapped) to retraced Yellow to Blue to the parking lot. <\/p>\n
