Contemplated leaving snowshoes in the car (almost did) but last minute grabbed them and boy are we glad we did!
There was 7-8 inches of very fluffy new snow up high, more when in areas with no tree cover! Easy trail breaking, saw 2 others near Mt. Tom also in snowshoes, not sure if they went to Field or not. Winter wonderland!! Chilly 15 degrees back at the car! Brrrr! |
