Notes
On a lark, decided to head out to Bray Lake and back, in shorts and a T-shirt with nothing to drink! Woah, followed the red blazed trail, maybe more like 9 miles. I was all over the place till I got back to familiar territory. I did the first 2 downhill on Whiting in 14:30, and hit Whiting again at 1:03, making the last couple miles 8:30 pace uphill. So the middle section is about 48:00 for 4.5 miles, sounds about right. A handful of stops to check direction, very steep sections and trecherous downhills. A lot of icy snow pack only on the trail from snowshoers.
