| Comments: |
Livermore Tr was broken out up to a point that someone bush whacked toward and probably made it to Mt Kancamagus. We broke trail up over Livermore Pass to the Scaur Ridge Tr. This had been previously been packed from the Waterville Valley TH. NH_Flyer reported the poor conditions of the Pine Bend Brook Tr due to bare booters on Monday. These people should return to experience the hazardous conditions they left the trail in. The .8 miles from the PBB jct to the North Peak was a complete mess. Heavy Traction was required from here to the top. It will require substanial amounts of snow to repair the PBB Tr. |
