 | Comments: |
Spikes from A-Z/ Avalon junction to Mt. Tom Spur. Changed to snow shoes & stayed in them a 1/4 mile from Avalon/ A-Z Junction & then back with the spikes to descend the icy steeps.
All trails are badly post holed & really chewed up. It was a tedious hike that took us an extra two hours to complete.
Nevertheless, it was an awesome day out with my main squeeze.f |
