Snow - Unpacked Powder |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
a couple of the usual seasonal streams on the Red Trail (South) were flowing but easily passable. The 2019 Red Trail (South) water crossing reroute is working out well. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Cleared some blowdowns on all of the trails. The big prize was the 16" one on the K-M that we got with the 22" hand saw. (I had a helper.) Short on time, we left a couple of small stepovers on the Klem-Mack loop, which I'll probably go back for in a few days. Also, various overhanging branches succumbed to the weight of the ice/snow mix. We left the ones that looked like they might recover, but that may be wishful thinking. |

 | Comments: |
We wore microspikes, but bare-booting would have worked fine in all but a very few places. It was maybe do-able in snowshoes, but the snow depth is pretty minimal. Lots of very recent animal tracks, including deer. |
