 | Comments: |
Snow was crusty and firm. Dick was able to bareboot to N Weeks, then snowshoes soon after. I wore and preferred snowshoes all day.
York Pond Trail is easy to follow. On Kilkenny Ridge Trail blazes were sporadic at times and challenging to find, especially between Middle and South Weeks. We lost and re-found the trail many times. |
