 | Comments: |
Trail has some muddy spots and standing water spots too but much better with last year's reroute in place which avoids the first two crossings and the water/mud pits on the Cedar Brook Trail. Water crossings were easy. Last of ice, and snow from Monday's storm has melted off, no traction needed. Just did a out and back to North Hancock so I don't know what it's like in between peaks or if the South Link is still stubbornly holding onto ice, so bring beater spikes just for peace of mind for another few days. Great morning on the trails before the storm rolled through. :) |
