Comments
Comments: Well I grabbed my umbrella and headed out to the trails. I started on Hanover Center trail where I left off last winter for red lining. I bear booted the entire time but spikes would’ve been useful. I made it harder on myself for training purposes. I used my umbrella the entire time as it rained the whole time. It was easy going on the hardpacked trail. Once I got to the shelter to grab a quick snack the snow on the roof almost made it as a shield for the rain from the inside of the shelter. The shelter is missing the pen for the book. Also before I went to the shelter I went and stopped at the spring which is still flowing quite nicely. Once I got to the ballfields at the Dartmouth area I walked out to the road and then I took a left and walked the 4 to 5 miles back to my vehicle making it in almost 11 mile loop.
