There ended up being no such thing as a faster group and a slower group today. Instead we had the "Rock People" and the "Spike People". Joel's group was still at the trailhead when we got there today, so we decided to join forces. It didn't last long, though, as we split, nearly down the middle into "want to do the snow shoe trail" and "want to do the ski trail". So, my group headed up the ski trail, which was much easier. Most of us had ice cleats on, although Brian (my group) and Kathy (Joel's group) wore snow shoes. We reached the lake shortly after those who did the snow shoe trail, and shortly thereafter, most of the snow shoers took off and went up to the Elephant Rocks ("Rock People"). The rest of us enjoyed our lunch, and then all of us, except Kathy, returned, on our ice cleats ("Spike People"), the way we'd come. Joel, Ian and Kathy waited for the return of the "Rock People" and then headed down the snow shoe trail (which, incidentally, was in way better condition today than we'd anticipated).

Chester Lake is BEEEEEEE-Yutiful. Today definitely made me feel better about our yukky trip about 2-3 weeks ago.

The "Slow Group" was neary done dinner at Kilkenny before the first of the "Fast Group" arrived. Thanks to "Wayne" and "Chris" we were able to enjoy some free wings and beer, and life (and the COC trip) was complete.
