It felt more like May than December today. Luckily no rain but everything was melting. Mud and wet leaves below 3,000 feet after that it turned into a slick, wet ice luge with rocks a roots in the mix so I put my spikes on and kept them on till I got back to that point. When everything freezes back over tonight it will probably be even slicker till we get some good snow cover. SHARP spikes will be key until this happens ?????? |
