| Comments: |
A beautiful day with temps from 15 to 35, sun and blue sky early then sun and clouds after 10AM. Saw 8 hikers on the Zealand Road after I came down from Mt. Hale, they had stayed at the hut. Booted the Zealand Road and used microspikes on the Hale Brook Trail. A few patches of bare road on the Zealand Road, spring is getting closer. Another great day in the woods. |
