This loop was a mix of soft ice monorail and bare ground. The ice had a thin layer of snow on it which provided good traction. I carried spikes but never used them. The register on Bumfagging Hill is still there, but looks like it got wet. The last sign-in was from October 2021.
At the top of the Stonehouse Pond cliff, there was evidence of very recent party fires, and there was also some trees clipped for firewood. I dispersed the sites the best I could and carried out the trash that was left behind, but there's still a pile of charred wood up there. I'll also contact SELT to let them know. People. ???? |
