 | Comments: |
Aside from copious mud and wet leaves when ascending, it was a perfect day to bring lunch and sit at the summit outlook to view North Pack, etc. Warm, & partly sunny: spring like weather conditions, at least while I was there.
Took the auto road down to avoid "being one with the mud" and to get more sun. Assumed Wapack Trail conditions were about the same as Marian Davis. Ironically, found slightly more snow on the auto road than almost anywhere on Marian Davis trail. I would have guessed just the opposite. Life is full of surprises.
On way home, drove by North Pack Wapack trail parking lot. Only 3 vehicles there. At least 8 at Ted's trailhead. |
