I was once again foiled by the gate at the Margaret’s Way parking lot. I am not sure when they open it, or why it is closed (the other four Squak Mountain access points are accessible early) but when I swung by about 5:15 am it was closed. So I drove to the SE May Valley Road parking lot and went up to Central Peak.
Not many views – again, I started in the dark – but it is at least a decent workout. It is similar to being on a highly souped-up treadmill but in the forest rather than in a gym.
Speaking of forests, I found this on Twitter and it resonates with me:
I hope to get out Friday, not sure where.
