Fast-thawing here does not mean this winter's huge snows are making a speedy disappearance. ...too much of it.
So, today's sunny exploration of previously non-access places was accomplished two tedious steps at a time.
Easily navigated thawed spots were quickly followed with piles of snow requiring balance. Sometimes you'd sink into the snow - on others more solid, you feared slipping and falling with no clue to which was which. Nothing to do but a very careful two-step - a far cry from dancing!
Was it worth it? You bet! ...ready to go again.
