Thanks to Nordic Gal for a fun day from Welch-Dickey to Tecumseh! Fun to meet Ned from Campton who joined us for the trek up to the Dickey outlook! We found a significant amount of really thin ice - a tricky veneer! Traction would have been too much, but, I did take a couple of decent tumbles on the ice.
Really decent herd path from the outlook ledges on Dickey up to Foss & Green. From Green we took a bearing of 20 degrees and headed for Tecumseh - a big thick in the col but it did open up until we got next to the huge artificially cleared communications tower area. Along the way we did find animal remains - difficult to identify, but, we think it was the end of a tail and various assorted other fur and bone scraps. Lots of moose signs in there! Super-fun!!!! |
