 | Comments: |
Lots of mud, standing water, running water etc starting around 2 miles in. Lots of leaves before then that makes footing difficult to see in its own way. There were consistent rocks and roots to avoid stepping on the mud/water but it slowed things down
I planned to take the engine hill bushwhack but strolled right past it while rock hopping around mud and puddles so I did the first and second crossings. The first was the hardest but manageable. Bypassed the 3rd and 4th with the short bushwhack which I highly recommend. Very easy
The was essentially no snow or ice. No point in bringing traction until snow or a good freeze. |
