Squire Creek Pass via Eight-mile Trail — Saturday, Nov. 30, 2019

Firstly, Thank You to the person who found and left my micro spike at the trailhead! Much appreciated! Secondly, Wednesday was such a weird day, the Universe was slightly off kilter that day and I did not quite make it to the pass (and actually, not as nearly as close as I thought I was), and so today I had to come back and finish what I started. I filled my thermos w/ Cream of Mushroom soup and headed out. Needless to say, not much had changed in 3 days, though there was less snow and more ice (and “mud ice”). Snow at about 3,050 was calf deep, and still dry and powdery. I followed coyote tracks up to the pass (I was surprised to see that a coyote would be up there, but it looked like he knew exactly where he was going and on a mission...up and over and then down the other side of the pass...he left a little coyote poo full of fur). At any rate, so glad I was able to get another hike up here while the weather was still  good.
