| Comments: |
It was a warm winter day, just wore a fleece and all day. However, the snow dripping from the trees got it pretty wet. Left the parking lot at 8:30am and returned at 4:15pm. A longer, but great day. The bushwack was easily followed and all trails were well packed. I just wish the barebooters would be smart enough to bring snowshoes with them. They really tend to ruin the trail bed with post holes. |
