Late start after ten ha ha and trailhead parking not plowed but Greely Ponds lot i noticed was plowed. We were thinking of abandoning plan but S & J in a Jeep showed up. We joined forces. But after summiting North we continued on loop for at least 20 minutes before turning around...lost trail and drifts and traps were tough . Our trailmates decided to go up and back to south but we decided to head home and get out before dark. Good fun. So middle of loop trail is not broken out. |
