Last Johnson Co./SE Iowa BC report

Like the MNRA report below indicated, the goods are rapidly shrinking. Get them while it's still OK. Waxless skis are going to be in vogue for a few days. Anything with traditional walker traffic in this area is stomped out. Create your own lines at Kent Park or get creative at the rez for Johnson Co. BC action. The Washington Co. stuff is still going to hold out for a while as people down there don't walk or exercise. Pick an out-of-the-way park and go for it. Beware the Iowa, Skunk, and English Rivers with these temps and groundwater flow. I'd keep off them.

Even with more snow, this is probably the last BC report for my region. My ski partner, Mrs. C.T., blew an ACL and/or MCL yesterday while skiing. Going to put the storage wax on her stuff this week. Sad day in the C.T. house. Send +++vibes+++ her way. She's a hell of an explorer and a fun skier.

Good luck in the woods, all. And remember, "when it's time to use klister, it's time to go fishing."
