Race Directing duties with PH at the eighth Greylock Glen Snowshoe Race at the Mount Greylock State Reservation, in the Adams Glen...

This was the race where PH and I were talking with our friend KC at Hawley the day before;  PH and I were undecided on what the course would be for the Greylock event, and KC mentioned that he always liked the original route.  PH said "if KC wants the original route, we'll do the original route".
