| Comments: |
The mud was almost totally avoidable, not so the snow. At about 3600' it became constant. I used snowshoes between the cabin and the summit and was glad for them. The tracks meander some between the cabin and the summit because of the big blowdowns, but they get there.Great day on Cabot. |
