New way into the Mice

Dino and I played hookey from work this afternoon and explored a new method of accessing the 3 Blind Mice. It's a weird variation on a shuttle - with a "you gotta' earn it" twist... We dropped a vehicle at Poplar Grove, then drove up to the top of Pinetree Way (Cul De Sac) and began climbing.

The route takes one on a series of dual-track and quad trails, eventually connecting with an offshoot of the Greyback Mt. road. It climbs slightly thereafter, evens out, then drops to the top entrance of High Pony / Rainbow trail.

Along the way, "a hundred and one" single and dual-track options presented themselves... fodder for future exploration.

The best thing; its all on Crown land (mostly under Sather grazing leases, the owners of which we have forged an excellent working relationship with).

The views en-route were amazing, the weather was perfect and the potential for more amazing trail connections lucrative...

Orange is the 'new route', red is the existing Mice trail network

Looks more like eating the face of the poor dude who knocked her up.

Good eye for a blind guy!

She had some kinda' carcass in her hands, eating it like a corn on the cob at several points; Nature is Brutal!
