Cold today 1/4 inch of ice on the water dishes this morning. Down tree across trail at 6 mile point had to lift dogs over in pairs and then loft 150 pound cart over tree, Seemed the best way as turning back to take the black top bike path intersection was at a farmyard crossing gate intersection ( "Gate" consisted of a couple strands of barbwire electrified) with goats, ducks, chickens and all sorts of interesting distractions just beyond, that I had just gotten the team to go onby with only a slight stop to look over the menu....
Good run over all. and teaming over that log was great practice for something no doubt! Photo is of the road crossing at 5 miles.
