 | Comments: |
Attempted Tom, Field and Willey after the Hancocks and ran out of luck. Made it to Tom but the going was slow and the rain wouldn't let up. Decided to cut my losses and head to my daughters for a dry shower and grandson time. I used snow shoes but others did not and they looked like they were trying out for an iron man by the time they made it to Tom. Must have been very tiring. I still enjoyed the hike and got to laugh at myself for going anyway. |
