|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parking lot at Lincoln Woods is icing out. Plenty of bare patches and I expect it'll be much better come the weekend. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Snow/Ice - Monorail (Stable) |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
Light Traction |
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Snow bridges are still covering much of the East Branch of the Pemi, however, they're not recommended in the slightest. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails were packed solid. There was a slight amount of mashed potatoes -- perhaps an inch overall. It was smooth sailing almost the entire time. Had it been paved with fresh tarmac, the going wouldn't have been a single bit easier. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
A lovely alsatian out with dad, having yet another best day of his life. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Oddly, yes, but only a very few flying insects. |

I'd been convalescing after breaking my ankle on Mt Adams in December. Finally, enough was enough, and my PT guy was on board with a light hike. Hi ho, hi ho, to Lincoln Woods I go! A stellar day, superlative views, and fine trails to walk on. Don't ask how I got from one side of the river to the other without getting my feet wet. Magic happened. Then again, Lincoln Woods is a magical place, right?
