 | Comments: |
The plan was Isolation via Glen Boulder, pretty straight forward, we have both done this before. The actual event was a serious of comedic errors. We were off the trail as much as on the trail and for the hordes that have not been hiking, there is a ton of snow. On Davis path, or thereabouts, there are still feet of snow, pushing the hikers face up into branches. We wore snowshoes the whole way, and yet some still tried to go without and post holed down low.
Always great to be out in any conditions, this one tried my sense of humor today but I have Isolation in April, dag nabit. |
