This ski outing has been in the works for quite some time: Start at the main trailhead in the Upper System of Michigan Tech Nordic Trails and go through every trail/loop until back at the trailhead. A lot like NASCAR but only making right turns instead of left turns.

A couple years ago, I didn't have the skill or the stamina to ski every loop/trail. Last year, I had the skill and stamina but a part of the Ridge Loop in the Lower System was blocked off (an aftermath of Father's Day flood). Today was the day. I started work in the wee hours well before sun came up and was able to extend the lunch hour.

Grateful for the ability to work flexible hours, the nature of my work that lets me carry a problem (as in a project) with me and attempt to solve it on my own (as in collective experiences so far) without referring to Dr. Google. Treating every intersection as a vertex and every trail as an edge, the route would have been an Eulerian Circuit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZwSo4vfw6c) if not for the single entry/exit trail into/out of Tolkien Trail System.

Existing wax: Toko Base Performance Liquid Paraffin Red polished with a dedicated brush, and Toko Red Structure. Turnamic Binding was set to -2.
