 | Comments: |
I hiked today with Wolfgang's group and had fun. The Blueberry Ledge trail was well packed out and allowed us to get to the junction of Wiggins trail by barebooting. There we put on snowshoes for the rest of the hike. From Whiteface Ledge the Rollins trail had been driften in and a single hiker, who had passed us, broke it out for us and the eight of us helped smooth out Rollins and then Dicey's Mill trail. The worst section was actually after crossing Dicey's Mill brook. It was wind blown snow that was hard to break through and the section that passes a private property had an icy crust. Hopefully, our effort will help hikers this weekend. We enjoyed a beautiful day and I was glad to hike again with Ed, Bob, Bruce, John and June, Guy, and Cynthia |
