Comments
Comments: Harsh winter continues. Trails all smoothly packed; Microspikes worked excellently today. What ice there may have been was unnoticeable with the spikes on. No need for snowshoes as of today. A little chopped up for the first couple hundred feet above the cabin; all else fast trails. Nice running into Spooky13; early congrats on her W48SS on the Moose tomorrow. Also nice seeing Mike & Monica again leading an AMC group; big weekend plans for them coming up. Around 20 hikers out enjoying day.
