 | Comments: |
The Bunnell Notch trail at the beginning was a litle hard to follow with all of the leaves down. After the first couple of miles the path is obvious. Just keep your eye out for the trail and try not to daydream too much.... Early AM the ground on all trails was partially frozen but by afternoon was back to normal condition. Encountered some black ice patches ascending the Kilkenny Ridge Trail, not bad at all and easily avoidable, no need for microspikes at this time. Fun hike, great workout as usual. |
