 | Comments: |
I wore spikes on Lincoln Woods until the Bondcliff Trail, but on the way out, I snowshoed until the Franconia Brook Trail junction (I should have put my snowshoes on there in the morning). Snowshoes the rest of the way. It appears that one snowshoer came out to Lincoln Woods yesterday, as those solo tracks were fairly fresh, but were also fairly filled in from fresh/blown snow. I soloed a fresh snowshoe track on top of that, and then as I was exiting the West Bond spur, a solo snowshoer was entering (came from Lincoln Woods), so there is now a sorta decent stomped out snowshoe track out there - use it while it lasts! No post holes or bare boot blemishes. Sweet. |
