I went back to the CCC trail, looking for my Garmin but I was stymied at the spot where you have to go way off trail to get around the blockage. On Friday, somehow I found the trail again, but today I turned around.
Tuesday I will go back and start at the other end.
I did find the water bottle I dropped Friday but the Garmin remains elusive.
One slightly ominous note is that I found more and more bear tracks. Black bears do not totally hibernate in the winter and at least one of them is wandering around in the vicinity of the CCC Trail. I have my bear spray and I am definitely hyper-aware of my surroundings.
