Wanted to get out despite the early snows and happened to see Jun's Blog entry about running LCC trail.  Sounded good to me.  The weather cleared a bit this afternoon and I had not been on that trail for a year or so.  It was perfect.  I went up all the way to the abandoned mill at the 3.5 mile mark.  Didnt see a soul...just Jun's tracks.  About 2 inches of snow.  Actually was nice because the trail can get pretty rocky and this just cushioned things out a bit.  The river and snowy trees were a gorgeous peaceful refreshing sight.

Slow painful miles on the Pipeline from Burch Hollow to Elbow Fork and bit further up toward Mt Aire.  Feeling tired and heavy today.  Canyon pretty. The road has now been closed off for the winter past Burch Hollow.  Was warmer than I thought it was going to be and started with a heavier long sleeve shirt...had to run shirtless for 2 middle sun solitary miles to cool down.  Scared some of the wildlife with the Pale Dread but no humans had to suffer.  Nice to be free for a moment in the sun and yellow dappled walls of aspen.

Was determined to go back up the LCC trail.  8-10 inches of newly fallen snow.  Mostly first tracks except for 3 deer I was following much of the way.  Ended up being a snowshoeing adventure.  Just went to the 3rd bridge and back.  Totally beautiful.
