We parked at Marriottsville rail crossing, the parking lot was full of water, and from what we could see the trails had been nearly unused since the last snow.
We headed out through McKeldin, staying on the 'sunny' side of the river. There were still areas of deep snow, and ice patches, but we managed fairly well. Last time we went out it was quite the adventure, with KC remembering that ice is not his friend.
Further along there was evidence of other riders, but probably not today. We had a nice lunch, visiting with patrons and answering queries of the riding facilities and the quality of local schools. Both are excellent, not just my opinion, you can look it up.
It started sleeting a little on the way back, by the time we arrived at our trailer I was wet. A friend stopped in to exclaim that she saw us there earlier, but didn't stop because she was on her way to Winchester, and was SHOCKED that we were still out. It is common knowledge that we are nuts, so don't judge.
Knowing we were going to get some serious snowfall, I then ran out to the grocery, prepped stalls for the overnight. He spread manure. We're in for it, and need to be prepared, no matter what.
