quote tobiedog: "Yes, I was just there this past weekend. The road is plowed but be careful. I slid off in my Subaru and needed expensive help to get out. I took a wrong turn on what I thought was a safe road. Another guy skidded off in his pickup about the same time.
Right now, that area is the winter recreation hot spot with close to two feet of snow. The Minnesota DNR snow depth map says the same thing. The parking lot was completely full of a variety of users- snowmobile, skiers and snowshoes.
It was a bit dispiriting to me to discover how exhausted I got after a little over an hour pulling a pulk. I followed snowmobile tracks around McFarland but when I hit the snow it wore me out. I should have put on my snowshoes but mistakenly assumed kicking through the powder wouldn't be too hard. It was!
I'm a wimp, I think. I admire those of you who take on winter trips. it was really hard work for me and I was keenly aware of how a poor decision could be costly.
Here's entry point 68 from yesterday.
