Prairie Mountain Mar 21, 2018

Wed after work with Kevin and Wietse – warm and sunny. Lots of people – maybe 30.

Microspikes up and down just went to top of trees due to time spent on dog search.

Mud up from road until in trees.

Ran into two girls who had lost dog and spent lots of time looking for this small dog.

They thought it had gone off north-east side in the deep snow but we could not find tracks except dear and probably bobcat.

Dog probably followed a scent off the South-west side of ridge which is sunny side – less snow with some grassy patches.

Steep – probably continued down to powderface trail and out to road.

Somebody(wardens?) told them to leave a fleece and shoes by side of road and it worked as dog was there on the fleece in the morning.

Glad it all worked out.
