 | Comments: |
Trail was well packed out by a big group that want to Bald. From there, trail was well packed by a fat bike or two (!!). They only went to the KRT. The one set of tracks from yesterday was mostly drifted out. I barebooted about the first two miles, then spikes, then to snowshoes at the junction which was preferred. Some small drifts, no big deal. I was the only set of tracks to South. |
