Beautiful April day. Typical muddy trail along the river. As noted above, crossings were thankfully a non-issue. I put my spikes on after Brutus joined the main trail and took them off in about the same place. Brutus was largely free of ice and snow, and brutal as always. Another group reported that the slide was dry, but I cannot personally confirm that. Lovely blue sky day! |
