| Comments: |
Tied up a couple of loose ends (Beechwood Way, Inlook Trail, and Scar Loop) today, and did a nice figure-8 loop while I was at it. Trails mostly dry up until I got back down near Snyder Brook on Kelton Trail, where I ran into some ankle deep pockets of rotten snow. Some occasional monorail on the section of Brookside between Kelton and Watson, but nothing that warranted traction. Smooth sailing until the part of Valley Way below Scar Trail, which was a bit of a wet mess. Good to be out for a few hours, not getting horrendously chewed on by bugs. |
