Winter Field Day and SOTA on Sand Mt (W7U/SU-061)

 

WFD 2021 Jan. 30th on Sand Mountain

I've done Winter Field Day in a different location each time for new experiences, but I do like to have at least a little snow. There wasn't much and it didn't last all day, but it was a good location without having a bear of a hike and it had just snowed so higher summits were pretty covered. It was a good choice for this year.

I've been cooped up too long--work, then COVID, then I just didn't have the "umph" to get out there even when I had the free time in December. So I made myself go, and I picked a close although longer hike. Overall it's 7.2 miles. This is SOTA W7U/WS-109 and POTA K-6088 (Red Mountain Wilderness).
