Tusk season once again

It starts like this.

That's what it was like after the run. It had warmed up slightly.

That leads almost inevitably to this, the first tusks of the year. Still small because it wasn't really that cold out and it wasn't that long of a run. 6K or so, 53 minutes, nice and easy, being careful on slightly treacherous footing. Maybe an inch of loose snow in places, with a bit of slippery hardpack underneath.



As a reward for suffering through 2 pics of me, you get a good one.

  1. Tusk season! Great job on getting out there on a chilly day. It took me a long time today to pluck up the courage!

    1. I'm not sure I would have gone alone. But when you've got an eager buddy, it's hard to back out. We saw one other runner, a couple dog walkers, and a group of 7 or 8 people carrying cameras. It was quiet and beautiful.

  2. Omigawd! It's winter there. I'm so sorry!! Good on ya for getting out for a run. I wouldn't have had the heart for it.
