 | Comments: |
Both bushwhacks were well broken out, the second one starts about a tenth of a mile up the trail from where the first one ends. It didn’t look like anyone had gone any other ways since the latest snow, so I just followed the good trench. It was a beautiful day to be out, and only took me 5 hours and 45 minutes round trip for 11ish miles. Very good woods, I didn’t get any snow on me from the branches like most trails right now. Still plenty on the ground though, I postholed one entire leg deep, just one time. Snowshoes stayed on from .25 miles in. |
