I'm planning a long hike at LBJ National Grasslands. However our next orienteering meet out there is in late January and I've got some work to do. I already had to alter our terrain map for a trail relocation. I need to check the northern end of that…

Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
