Silver Sands

<p>Today in silver sands we rode meadows and dense trees the snow was very wet on the surface so it made for easy travel through the dense trees. In our pit we uncovered a few melt freeze ice layers down 10cm and again at 20cm from the surface. our layer of concern that was reactive was down 85cm CTH21 (SC) on facets 3mm in size.
