A lot of snow has melted, so I went back to Tamarack. I carried my snowshoes while on the walking trail, and when I got to Horseshoe Lake, a woman on xctry ski's told me about McLeod Lake. It was untracked getting there, and the views were awesome. The sky was a deep blue, temps in the 60s, no wind, and really peaceful. I found a wickiup near the outlet of the lake, probably a newer one since the branches were pretty straight. Pretty cool! I walked around the lake, and headed for Mammoth Pass since it was nearby on my GPS. The woman I talked to was right, no views, and not like a regular pass. I even had to hike down to it. I got back to Horsehsoe Lake, took the snowshoes off and walked as fast as I could to catch the 4pm shuttle (2.5 mi in 50 min, haven't done that in awhile!). That got me back in time to grab a table at Whiskey Creek for Happy Hour. (wk 168, day 2)
