Lost and Found
Lost and Found: FOUND SNOWSHOES COMING DOWN TRAIL SUNDAY NIGHT ...THEY CAN ONLY BE THE SLEDDERS. I DID NOT SEE PROPER VEHICLE IN LOT I PARKED IN. OWNER COULD'VE PARKED IN BASIN LOT. I HAVE THE SNOW SHOES IN MY CAR AND WILL BE GOING UP TO THE WHITES AGAIN TO MAX OUT WINTER PEAKS. 
 
Comments
Comments: Got late start 1pm....there was 5 in new snow at night that was packed down but felt like walking on beach. I went with microspikes and switched to snow shoes pretty quickly for training and stability reasons.....no issues with post holes although butt sliders did make some sections a little slicker at night when trails firmed up

Go to facebook page "hike the 4000 footers of NH" group and search on snowshoes to IM me
