Granite Lakes Road 1.30.06

Again I was a bit short on time and I was interested to see how much new snow had fallen in the last couple of days, so I chose a return to the South Bessemer Logging Road. I soon realized that my start was even later than what I was hoping for and I decided to save some time and just use the Granite Lakes Logging Road for my day's adventure. This proved to be a wise choice when I was greeted with a ""road closed"" sign at the beginning of the Middle Fork Road. I went around the sign and made my way to my new objective. The weather improved as I made my way up the road. I was quite suprised that I found no new snow on this day. With my stunted time frame I only made it to around 3100ft never using my snowshoes or the extra floats I had brought along thinking I would surely need. As I made my way back to the truck I was treated with some full on sunshine. I was a bit puzzled at first, I was little unsure what that warming light actually was.
