It was pretty cold to start but warmed later in the morning. All of 19MB was well packed. Micro spikes only. At junction of WCR, it was less traveled soft snow and a few postholes, so I switched to snowshoes. Pretty much breaking trail or rather packing it down. A group of 4 followed and helped with the process. They continued onto WC D, but I did an about face (I already had D for Winter. My return tracks made the trail even better and a few groups followed from the opposite direction. Trail should be in good shape now, but more snow is on the way. All in all a great day for Winter #41! |
