| Comments: |
Sorry about the bare boots, but Randy Pierce is blind and snowshoes are dangerous for the dog. On the return trip we "fixed" most of the postholes so the track is good again.
Some lighter folks barebooted w/o postholing. Heavier folks not so lucky. Recommend snowshoes, although the track should be well set up by now. |
