Started out in snow showers, cold and breezy. Reaching Field there was some clearing, more on Willey, even more back on Field and BlueBird on Tom!! Fantastic Day!! Trails are hard. Spikes fine. Postholes easy to walk around. I lugged snowshoes because the MWO reported 5 inches on the rock pile so I used them on Willey Ridge Trail for televators. Little bit of wet and black ice low down but not a problem. Good Time to get your VOLUNTARY Hike Safe Card @ wildlife.state.nh.us |
