My buddy Joe said there were more lean-overs and blow-downs than he's seen in 46 years of trail work. Snowshoe track made many small detours; we cleared a mile of LT. Much more to do! |

Two guys from North Shore area, MA had tracked from Rt 11 / 30 and built a fire in the cabin's stove. That let me warm my feet and Sorel liner. Thanks, gents!
Besides their fresh tracks in the inch of powder were a few older snowshoe tracks. Almost all tracks frozen hard enough not to need snowshoes. Light tracking helpful in spots. |
