| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Unknown Pond trailhead was plowed out with room for 5+ cars. York Pond lot was plowed but with ice under a dusting of snow so we parked along the side of the road instead. |

| Surface Conditions: |
Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
Snowshoes, Light Traction |
|
| 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: |
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! |
