 | Comments: |
One of the unnamed side trails was DESTROYED today by a Microspiker. It was otherwise humorous seeing where they had to resort to walking sideways to get up the steeps. Microspiking the side trails is like eating soup with a fork. The postholes will freeze tonight and be AWFUL tomorrow. Hopefully we get enough snow Friday night to reset things.
Mt. Prospect Trail was fairly well packed. Snowshoes still ideal.
Nice springlike afternoon with temperatures reaching the low to mid 40s, but not much in way of melting. |
