 | Comments: |
I walked in a few miles on Millsfeild pond Rd. and corridor 115 to the junction with 19. I walked a short distance south on 19 and then used skid roads/bushwhack to work up to the col between the peaks. I reached the col and hit the peaks in a T-shaped route. I followed my tracks out and reached a point on 115 just north of the crossing by the 19 junction. I used skid roads/bushwhack to work towards signal until I hit the trail fairly high up and followed it to the tower. I returned in my tracks for most of the way down, before cutting up to the east end of 115 and following that back to the road.
Woods were mainly open. A few tight spots on Metalak, but moose paths made for short work.
Snow was mainly supportive, though I did break the crust at times.
Patience and Metalak have the familiar yellow x's and are re-recognized. |
