Blue and Gray Quickroute
My route from today's local event at Blue and Gray.
The yellow track is where I was moving fastest. The blue/black track is where I was moving slowest.
You need to know a few things about Blue and Gray (aka Black and Blue Park) to understand some of the route choices. First, the park is heavily used by horses. As a result, the trails are often quite rough. Second, the temp was a bit below freezing, so the hoof prints on the trails made the footing sketchy. Third, most of the forest is thick and thorny.
