 | Lost and Found: |
Very sadly, I dropped a red Outdoor Research "base" mitt on the way up Carter-Moriah to the Hight summit (the steep side). If anyone finds, please do carry out if you could, and I'll try to collect it (I've carried out many a thing for others, so hoping someone else might return the favor :). |

Nice day to be out. Very light snow fell the whole time, temps were quite nice (20s down to maybe 10F up high), and no wind except for a bit on Hight. The scattered but prolific snapped trees aside, we did break out the trail up to and over Hight with snowshoes, so have at it. 19 Mile brook is a packed superhighway as usual, and the rest of the trails are broken out nicely, or otherwise bare-bootable with traction. Just be real careful on the steeps! |
