Came in from the north on South Lincoln Rd/FR 54. The road is not plowed much past FR 201 (Emily Proctor TH). Plowed parking area just past the entrance to FR 201. Only a short 1/3 mile road walk to summer TH. Natural Turnpike and Steam Mill Rd (FR 59) are plowed from the Ripton side but did not check to see if it goes as far as Skylight Pond TH. |

| Comments: |
Plenty of fresh snow from last night’s storm - 6†down low to over a foot up high. Aside from the first mile, the trail hadn’t seen traffic recently. Track is nicely broken out now after our out-n-back. Lots of fresh moose sign between the shelter and Wilson. Lost the trail here and there in the open woods on the way to Breadloaf but the track will get you there... Breadloaf seemed an appropriate place to celebrate World Nutella Day! |
