 | Comments: |
I broke trail through 4-8†of fresh powder that obscured the previous footpath in many areas, so I do apologize for the rather roundabout Bushwhack track. You’ll get where you’re going. Consider it the scenic route. Although the third man I met may have straightened it out, he knows where it’s supposed to go. I also inadvertently cut off the corner of Isolation Trail and David Path. Oops. Just remember, in the wise words of Obi-wan Kenobi, “Who’s more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?†I guess the only trick is figuring out if the snowshoe track you are following was laid down by a fool.
I saw three other hikers on my way out, with nice big snowshoes, making for a nice path to walk out on. It is still soft, still needs snowshoes. |
