Sledding Adventure Part 3

It was the best of conditions and the worst of conditions for our first run at this hill

(ref Part 2,. Sledding Adventure) We tried to walk up from the foot of the run but soon decided it to be too slick so we headed around to the far side of the sand lot where we could hike up to the top.  A distance of 20 or 30 feet but steep and in the deep snow, pulling our sled, arduous effort.  We got to the top stared into a dark tunnel of ice and cold, of hidden stones and rock, of treacherous falls and granite wall.
