We started off today a little later than yesterday. It was brutally cold this morning so we waited a bit longer to leave. We stopped at Skyview for a great breakfast, then after a quick ride on trail 6 East and then trail 1 North we were on trail 2 East to Rogers Bar.
We ate a pizza and visited with the other customers in the bar. Then we headed across the Cisco Chain to Bents Camp. After a quick soda there, we went into Land O Lakes to top off. My buddy Cale was right behind me, then when I turned for gas and stopped at the pump he was gone. I realized he went straight, so I had to go catch him. It took a few miles to catch up, but I finally got his attention. We changed our plans and continued on to Watersmeet. After topping off, we hooked up with trail 2 West and headed for home. The further East you went from Bergland, the thinner the snow got. As we got closer to Bergland and Marenisco, there was a huge improvement.
A few things to note –
Marenisco now HAS gas! I saw it with my own eyes, the gas station is open again!
Silver City no longer has gas, and the mobil in White Pine is closed. You can get gas in White Pine at Konteka bowling alley though!
