Barebooted almost to Mt Avalon Spur. There was still a lot of ice but also lots of rocks sticking out. Light traction still needed: Wore Hillsound spikes on-off-on-off-on-off, but mostly ON, to Field, Willey, Field, Tom, and most of the way back to Avalon Trail jct. Enjoyed Pearl and Beecher Cascades on way down! Also the unsigned "Y Cascade" higher up.
Driving home, noticed Zealand Road is OPEN. Drove up to second gate, just past Sugarloaf TH. Second gate was also OPEN! (Car parked on Rt 302 had a $15 ticket for parking in a no-parking zone.) |
