Quite a few people out on this amazing 'winter' day. Cloudy at the lot but burned off at the summit. Sun screen would have been a good idea. Snow was a little sticky on the accent, REALLY sticky and wet on the decent. Snows could have helped a little but ehh. Use the bushwhack. Those ice bridges aren't long for this world. Nice folks and pooches all day. |
