18 miles today, 139 total. From Bear Lake, I skied to the west of Kalkaska, MI. Half the day was over packed down snow on forested snowmobile trails. Lucky for me and other cross country ski bums, this winter seems long. But many hungry deer were out scrounging for food. Then I followed Nash Rd., a long road leading to Kalkaska. I skied up on the plowed snowbank. Once in Kalkaska, I stopped for some sweets and human contact. This is the first time I've stopped to actually sit down during any of my days out. :^) My new monocular (thanks BJ and Holly) helped me find a dropped glove after doubling back. I finished by picking up another snowmobile trail west of the city. Though my foot hurts, the snow is melting, so I'm gonna go for a big day tomorrow.
