I was thinking about the wisdom of doing a Pre Run of China Wall a week or two before the actual Anniversary Run. Judging from the pictures of Mt Herman Road that Jon posted, which isn't all that far away from ChinaWall, I don't think that ChinaWall got away free and clear from all the snow... It may well be a good idea to do this, especially since we have that little bitty hill that gave so many people issues a couple of years ago when it was a bit icy.
Just tossing this out there.....
