Comments
Comments: Looked like someone had done Wildcat Ridge yesterday (?), but there were many, many deep drifts to bust through, both on the ridge and descending into Carter Notch. Snowshoes!! Lots of critter tracks. :)

It was wicked windy and cold. We decided to get the heck off the ridge, descend 19 Mile Brook Trail, hitchhike back to our car. Thankfully got picked up quickly by a sweet trail angel who had just had her car detailed. Hahaha!!
