 | Comments: |
Continuation of p.m. solo grid quest; caught up with Bill and Lisa who had broken trail within half mile of summit and graciously let me play through solo to the top, where new snow depth 12-16 inches, not counting much deeper drifts. Trail reasonably well broken out now, until next storm. Fantastic sunset on top and moon rise on way down. Too tired to break out Rollins Path to Whiteface, which was original plan. First time that I have used snowshoes round trip on a NH4 in several winters. :-) |
