After all of the precipitation in Section E we chose to change our gear for Section F to deal with the rain and possibility of snow as well as the cooler temperatures. Toothless' new boots were not quite fully waterproof which meant his socks and feet got wet during the car wash, but they did … Continue reading Section F Reflection
Mileage: 16.5 km (TBC with actual track) This morning was a bit rough. I barely slept last night.
