Happy New Year, the log blocking the trail was sawed up! New schedule now, ran into a ton of peds (3 on foot, one on roller-ski thingies in the 1st mile, which was likely to be their all last mile). The ones on foot were all dressed either in goth/asphalt black, or Kurt Cobain/Al Gore - earthy plaids. Invisible. The skiier dude was reflective head to toe and w/ halogen on his head, pretty visible. If only he'd had his poles reflective, I would have actually known what the heck he was quite a bit sooner...
