 | Comments: |
Great day out with Hank, TinTin, Kaya, & Tucker. Lincoln woods in good shape. Dry almost the whole way with a couple muddy patches. 2-3 inches of new snow on black pond and Lincoln brook. Bushwhack was tough to navigate but GPS track led the way. Slide was slippery in some spots with a couple inches of new snow. We put spikes in 1/2 way up. Frozen monorail under new snow from above the slide to the summit. Nice views of the Bonds today from just past the summit. Thought we had the Brutus on.the way down but ended up whacking our own path. Saw 2 others on the slide |
