 | Comments: |
The bubonic barebooters have destroyed this trail too. No wonder there hasn't been any recent traffic after the deep freeze following their slaughter.
The first two thirds of it is frozen solid postholes and divets. The last third isn't quite as bad, but still isn't great. Still full snow cover. Snowshoes or Microspikes, doesn't matter, it's painful either way right now. Many sore joints and tendons as a result of this; I probably should have turned around and saved my body.
An insincere thanks to the inconsiderate people who trashed this trail over the weekend and ruined it for us locals who try to respect future users by wearing snowshoes or skis, particularly when it's warm. |
