Comments
Comments: A quick loop over Monroe Hill since I was in the area for work. All trails unbroken, although there was a faint remnant of the previous snowshoe track. About 6-8 inches of fluffy powder over a crusty base which sank at times. Limited views from the "tower". ;) Cold and windy at times, but the sun was warm. I did not visit the actual highpoint as it is on private property. On the way out, I walked a bit further up CER to the tiny Gearry Cemetery. #46 on the fire tower list!
