* David Pollock is usually in between 7 and 9 AM and again at supper time 5 PM plus. He does not have a telephone answering machine nor email. His trip plan for the Jan 3th cross country skiing is “Zealand” or “Lincoln Woods”. He will make a point of finding out the conditions of both trails by Dec. 31. David says that either trip can readily be completed in 6 hours of skiing at an easy early season pace. The Zealand trip involves more uphill, but is never more than beginners’ slope.
