Monday, November 17: Eleven of us had a rolling hills hike in fresh snow, a route packed down a little by snowmobiles. Our snowshoes seemed to function efficiently, even though some were old and others were new and untried.
Wednesday, Nov. 19, we'll go back to simple hiking shoes at a lower level. So far, two voters have selected Farmer's Creek Trail, near Creede. Meet before 9 a.m. at South Fork Visitor Center. Creede hikers can join us at the trail-head at about 9:30. --Doug Knudson 873-5239

This is the turn-around spot, he said.
We walked in the high watershed of Wolf Creek, where it is still a series of rivulets

11 snowshoers got to try out their well-rested equipment. Remarkably, it all functioned properly after a little organization.
