Gorgeous day today. Cold enough to keep trails frozen (at least until 1:00) so mud and water were not much of an issue. Had traction but didn't need (if I'd been going down South Hancock I may have used them). Most blue sky I've seen in a while on my NH trips. Thanks to hiker for use of cellphone to set up my bailout and special thanks to Deb for making long drive over with keys. Guess my gas mileage wasn't too good today$$$. |
