| Comments: |
While trail was firm (and had an ice glaze) this morning, things softened up by afternoon. Snowshoes a must to prevent postholing. Some reroutes of Bunnell Notch Trail, as well as some various herd paths (including one that drops down to the Mt. Cabot Trail). All sorts of paths beyond the cabin - found that, upon leaving the old firetower site, staying right worked best (but was still winding). Rain and snow during the day down low. Above Bunnell Notch, snow and sleet. |
