 | Comments: |
First, a shout out to the trail breakers on Friday...we continued to pack the trail with snowshoes as much as possible.
Snow was very wet/sticky mashed potatoes down low due to the warm temps near 40. Near and above the cabin was frozen
granular conditions. Spectacular snow still clinging to all trees at and above the Cabin creating the Winter wonderland
that we all so enjoy :) A highlight today was a Pine Marten sighting near the Cabin. TYB for another northern adventure
in the Whites. |
