| Dog-Related Notes: |
Lauky had a bit of a problem with one ledge which had an ice bulge in the spot where he usually goes up. A bit of a boost in another spot and he was fine. Other than that he had no problem on the ledges, the rest is easy. |

| Comments: |
The trails are all hard packed, snowshoes not needed today--
anywhere. The Blueberry Ledge trail and the Rollins trail are hard packed and smooth. The Dicey's Mill trail is hard packed and chewed up. While there are many post holes on that trail there was no danger today of postholing, you just need to watch your step and not step into one. |
