First off, they've kept the roads very clear about half way in to Camp because the logging crews are still working. It was almost like a trip in during the summer, with ice instead of loose gravel. We were able to take the truck to within about ten miles of Camp. We followed the grader part of the way:
Unfortunately, once we got to the trail, we had some trouble getting the second sled started, so we ended up only taking one (plus a tote sled). We piled the tote sled up with our snowshoes, lunches, gear, and shovels, and off we went.
The blue sky continued all day for us. I couldn't have asked for a better one.
Thank goodness for snowshoes, because the snow was still up to my waist in most places. Here's a picture of the back field, where you can't tell we still have logs piled waiting to be used in some of the cabins:
We ended up taking five loads of wood out to the Island; hopefully it'll be enough to get us through May and early June this year! A couple of shots from those trips:
(The entire day had a blue-and-white theme. I'm sure you've noticed.)
There really wasn't enough snow on the cabins or the lodge to worry about, so we gave the lodge roof a cursory pass with the roof rake and called it a day.
On the way back out, we stopped at Pushineer:
Many thanks to Jim for heading in with me and to Ralph and Cindy for the use of their sled! It was a great trip, and now I'm looking forward to May. It'll be here before we know it!
