Hawley Kiln Notch Course Marking w/ Pop, PH, Farmer Tom and Tippi.  

The route covered 4.8-miles.

3-miles in incredibly deep snow (no snowmobile traffic as of my footprints) from Middle Road up to East Hawley Road in Dubuque, with Tippi.  Our effort for the three-miles took us 90-minutes in knee deep heavy snow.

Took Tippi out to Cummington, planning to get to Plainfield on the snowmobile trail.

We had a great day in the bright sunshine, covering 12.8-miles in 3:16:52.
