Rambled through the old Monroe Power Run along Dunbar Brook and up to the top of Spruce Mountain with Wuzzam in mid-twenty degrees and an inch of snow on the ground.

Took a couple of detours, and witnessed Raycroft Lookout and the Titanic Boulder, which is another "Gateway" nearby the similar but smaller "Gateway" in Mohawk Trail State Forest.

Observed the many other large boulders throughout the forest, several very tall white pine, and the new bridge spanning Dunbar Brook.

12-miles once we were complete.
