Notes

"Went out on a recon to Buck Ridge today. New the dangers and avoided riding open slopes. I had been riding trees most of the day down low and moved up to about mile marker 10 later in the day. Did a side hill through open trees and stopped on top of this slope. Watched it all propagate and slide below me."
