Narrative:

With severe WX to the west, I found myself in ft carson restr area due to inability to determine boundaries. WX conditions were very variable and demanded much attention. By the time I realized I was in it, there was no point in back tracking into bad WX. Thus I proceeded north. I am learning where south boundaries are.
