Shasta: Chapter 2: Exploring

Chapter 2, in which Pooh discovers he needs a lot more work riding his snowboard in slush, looking for the cabin in exactly the same wrong place as the first time, correcting his actions using a map and GPS, and finally snowshoeing to Horse Camp and the cabin, angrily realizing it would be the perfect place to have his snowboard, which he left in the truck.
