Badlands Residency Day 39

Another day of not getting to head south to Stronghold and Palmer.  It started snowing on and off around mid morning.  Everything is so wet and mucky from the snows and rains that hiking is pretty much out of the question.  Sage Creek Road (in the park) was closed down today, probably won't re-open until sometime thursday.  It is wet enough that any driving on it will destroy the road surface and require repairs.  3-5 inches of snow expected tonight, another 3-7 tomorrow, and more tomorrow night.  Ugh.

I worked more on my art in the parks project, and now have a very rough draft ready to begin cleaning up.  Still a lot of work to do on it, but it's a reasonable start.  I also spent a couple hours reading, mostly from a book on the history of Cuny Table, which is a large sod table running along the southern border of the Stronghold Unit.

That's about it, aside from some laundry and packing for NYC.
