Dorset Hollow Aproach
Started up the old road, flowing bareboot prints. There are lots of washouts where the barebooter walked along side in the woods. Snow was very shallow/minimal. The barebooter stopped about 3/4mi past the cabin. From there, snow increased and I was breaking 6" to 8" with some high drifts. Untill doorknob junction, go right at every junction. I visited the tower and the highpoint as two out/backs from the junction. I could not get the PVC canister opened. Good quick trip out. Narrowly avoided rain on this one. |
