The trail is well packed and in great shape except for the occasional 2-foot posthole. (Wearing snowshoes are good for you and good for me!) Enjoyed the high Engine Hill bushwhack. Thanks Per! Interesting wandering bushwhack the last 1/2 mile parallel to Isolation. But it worked fine. Did get one stick in my eye that hurts like hell tonight. Given all the zig-zags of the bushwhacks not sure how much they shortened the overall trip but the course was a really great walk! Thanks to Wayne for sharing this late start trip. |
