Well This was another rainy day that I wanted to get some new trails. Dolores and I tried this last winter but had a turn around time and was breaking trail in 2' of snow and could barely find any trail. This was completely different but it was hard to find trail with all the brush that needed to be cleared for sure. I had to have my rain jacket on as the trees were just car washing me. I was surprised that it cleared up once heading down to the col and I didn't see anyone from waumbek to s. weeks and back which was nice. All the people that were on the trail I missed due to going over to s weeks. Once I got back to the parking lot it was about half full which was nice. |
