 | Comments: |
After an overnight at Gray Knob cabin, this was a quick jaunt out to the car. Snow had frozen up overnight, so we were spike for the first 1/2 or so down (maybe to 3700'). After that, the leaf litter made things slick. Started out with light sleet at the cabin, which turned into a certified downpour an hour later. Trail is in good shape other than that. Dry clothes and a hot shower were exquisite. |
