Comments
Comments: Not much to add to other trail observations today...see note above -lost and found boots!

Careful of ankle busting frozen post holes- they are plentiful. Trail was a mix of bare ground, ice, packed snow, etc. Spikes pretty much car to car. Carried snowshoes but did not need them.
