 | Comments: |
Prima facie evidence of inconsiderate people: someone decided to posthole the heck out of these trails in the warm weather yesterday. As a result, much of the route is plagued with 2 to 3 foot deep frozen postholes, making my ankles sore and risking injury. Parasitic postholers.
Despite the snowpack setting up last night, the trail is not packed out enough to support booting, as I was sinking in a few inches in places with my snowshoes.
What a shame that one inconsiderate person can ruin a trail for everyone else for days to come. |
