| Comments: |
Couldn't possibly ask for a nicer November day in the Northern Presis! All the snow that had been up high a few days ago was washed away by the rain this week and conditions were ideal! Just a few spots on Ammo made spikes necessary as well as the first bit above the hut going to Monroe. Was surprised to not see more people on Washington on such an amazing day! |
