On a cool morning I drove a short way up the Chuwhels Mountain Road (on the way to Lodgepole Lake), but parked at the start of the Walloper Forest Service Road and followed Branch One (a double track) as it headed south through cutblocks and around forested hills.   I was able to follow a snowmobile track for about a kilometer, but then I broke trail.

I wanted to reexplore this area, but I also chose to look for some geocaches along the route,  and I was pleased to find 6, all winter-friendly caches.

I had previously snowshoed this track farther, but I was happy this time just to be out stomping on the snow, getting an hour and a half of exercise. I had snowshoed the day before and have another one planned for the next day, so the in-between day was a measured effort.
