One hiker in my group lost a black glove somewhere on the Skyline Trail; if you find it, grab it and email me! I also saw someone else's glove hanging on a tree along the Skyline Trail just east of intersection B5-8 on the map https://www.mass.gov/doc/middlesex-fells-reservation-trail-map/download |

 | Comments: |
There were small icy patches along the trail, but these were easy to avoid, so no traction beyond ordinary insulated hiking boots was needed. |
