 | Comments: |
I hiked up to the height of land on the East Pond trail and then bushwhacked towards W. Osceola. The woods were extremely wet with slushy snow on trees. The bushwhack was not overly difficult--fairly short some thick/steep stuff. By the time I got to the top I was absolutely soaked. The canister is gone, just a handle on a tree now. Micro spikes were great for this entire hike.
This was supposed to be a full traverse of West, Middle, Main, and East. But when I got to west, I was very wet and cold. I knew getting over middle could be slow and tough, so I opted to follow my tracks back and go for a 2nd afternoon hike. |
