Ski-o at Tahoe Donner. Pretty crappy weather, it rained all night, so the snow was like mashed potatoes, except for where people had skiied and cut it up, then it was like mashed potatoes soaked in gravy. mmmm gravy. We had one leg that went way up on the exposed ridge of the mountain, and with the crazy strong wind and blowing snow you really couldn't see anything or stand up. My map holder blew open and the map was instantly gone, but fortunately I had memorized enough of the next two legs (along with some lucky tracks to follow) to get the next two controls, then swing by the start for a new map and only lost 2-3 minutes. This place was pretty cool in that we were allowed to go off trail, so some of the bushwhacks were sweet. The trails were so crappy that the off-trail wasn't actually that much worse, so it was often a really good route choice if it was downhill. 1st by a couple minutes.

warm up + control pickup afterwards. By about 2pm the storm blew through and it was sunny and clear. this place is pretty nice when the weather is ok.

felt pretty crappy (quasi-sickish) when I got up this morning, so I decided to take a day off and clean the apartment. also built a sweet wax bench. a vast improvement over the previous system - the stack of books and table clamp in the background.
