On President's Day, since I thought West Road was still under partial closure, I decided it would be pleasant to walk there. I didn't read the notice carefully because on that holiday, the road was scheduled to be open. It worked out all right - most ski hill traffic came from West Jemez Road which kept West Road fairly empty. The road's wide shoulder had mostly dried out from the fresh snow Sunday night so I had stable footing.
Starting from the intersection of Camp May Road and West Jemez Road, I walked with the wind behind me. For my four miles, I made two out and back trips, going as far as the razor wire topped fence that blocks vehicles from West Jemez Road. On each return trip, I unhappily walked uphill into a fiercely cold, hat-flapping wind.
