Gorgeous day to be out. Was thrilled to see the lot was plowed. It was slow going breaking trail (at least a foot of new snow) with Snickers. A short while after turning onto the loop trail, a very nice gentleman by the name of Rick approached from behind and helped out. There was much rejoicing. Once we were at the summit of south peak and started the traverse over to north peak, route finding proved to be a bit of a challenge, especially near the left turn after middle Hancock and in the glades as we approached North Hancock. So, expect some extra tracks in those areas. A number of blazes are buried under the snow or half in the snow - so when looking for them, look down. Great day hiking with Snickers. |
