 | Comments: |
A Meetup hike with Random Group of Hikers, which ended up being just my usual muse Mike, and a fantastic lady named Inna. It was cloudy overhead, and snow conditions were soft and sticky early on, firming up with altitude. No obstructions along the way, though the track wanders a bit on the summit ridge, but gets the job done. Cabot Cabin in rough shape, a couple small holes in the wall, and the floor in front of the door looks to have been chewed up by spikes. Sun started to come out on our descent, on a now firm snowshoe track. Trails should be set up nicely for this weekend! |
