 | Comments: |
Forecast for clearing never panned out. No views but lots of enjoyable conversation with several nice folks. We went down to check out the Garfield Shelter. What a great job done on planning and constructing this building! Trails a mix of dry to muddy + very wet to snow covered. Had but didn't use traction. Definetely time to start packing it. |
