We did some LSD today up on Pool Table Road. LSD is long, slow, distance, not the psychedelic drug, lol. We walked out to Hanson Mill campground. Total distance was about 10.9 miles. Aspens are leafing and signaling Spring is here.

Road walk from start of Pool Table Road up to Wheeler Basin Campsite 1. This is a drivable forest service road for AWD/4WD vehicles, but hikable since there is not a lot of traffic. Nice views along the way.
