Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: First crossing on the Bunnell trail was a little tricking with water running over the ice-got a tad bit wet jumping across but could have avoided it by using a log just upstream. Both crossings on the Unknown Pond trail were fine.

Comments
Comments: Snow conditions could not have been better today. We used Microspikes/Hillsounds to the summit of Cabot, where we switched to snowshoes. From Cabot we followed a rough bareboot track all the way to Unknown Pond. Whoever broke it out did a nice job routing finding. From the pond back to York Pond road was a little bony in places but we left the shoes on being too lazy to take them off. Thanks to Tom and Elizabeth for another awesome day!
