The Arbuckle Nordic Club had an outing on January 21. The
group went up the 22 road to the 2 1 and then skied on the 220
spur. The lack of snowfall took a toll...there was little snow
on the roads and only about six inches on the trail, and two
spots had to be walked through for 10 or 20 feet. The outing
included a fire and lunch break before skiing back to vehicles
accompanied by the serenading howl of coyotes. Top(L-K): Dr
