Poking around Perkins Clearing
I took advantage of Wednesday afternoon’s warmth to grease the rear suspension skid and install new carbides. It’s a more pleasant task at 40*F, rather than 20*F or colder for sure!

C8 toward Cedar River Headquarters yet to be groomed, but it’s probably a matter of time this week before that gets combed over. C8/Sabael […]
