Perfect day to be hiking. Bare booted up and down the road and used snowshoes on the trail. Several postholes, but not a problem given the snowshoes I was wearing. The side hill part was a bit tricky going up, but a nice couple ahead of us cleaned it up pretty well for the descent. Only saw 10 other people today, six on the trail and four on Zealand Road. |
