Well the road is open and we were going! We did a point to point car spot which was nice. We made our way up to the hut where we dumped our bags for our short trip to Galehead. Once back, we got our bags and headed up to S Twin. Met many backpackers, pemi day loopers and day hikers today, everyone seems to be out. There was maybe a golf balls size of snow left which you would have walked right on by. We filtered some water throughout there as well. We enjoyed the quite small amount of with on S twin with some food and laughs. We headed over to N twin which is where the people started to disappear from. We met Jeff on the summit and a few black flies. Headed on down and saw the forest service doing some trailwork. Some new sections of the trail seems to have been changed from the last time we were here. Once down, we went and got our other car and done for the day! |
