Finally Reaching The Gulf

|

After struggling through the deep snow for 45 minutes, I finally reached The Gulf, a 500 foot deep hollow. Deer apparently congregate along the edge of this hollow, as witnessed by the ample deer tracks in deep snow, and places where deer had slept in snow.

Saturday had deep blue skies and wasn't particularly cold when I was out skiing at Rensselaerville State Forest on my final day in my 30s, as the big forty approached later in the day.
