 | Comments: |
The trail was very chopped up by bare-boosters during the warm stretch after the storm. I wore snowshoes car to car. I was hoping to help even it out, but the cold last night made that impossible. In many spots the post holed trail was too narrow for snowshoes. Mostly would up hiking alongside the channel. |
