Comments
Comments: Great Gulf Trail was pretty well packed, but a bit narrow. Osgood Trail had a couple sets of snowshoe tracks, but was being rutted up by a couple of barebooters. I passed the barebooters just before the Osgood Cutoff Jct., but the postholes continued for a while as a moose had rutted it up even worse. The snow above treeline had a good crust that was perfect for snowshoeing. Great day to be above treeline!
