Continuing iandanner's post, in a group of six from Cabot we broke trail northward with good success to Bulge and Horn. Much more difficult, with deep snow and brook crossings, we continued the clockwise loop north on Kilkinny and southward down Unknown Pond. A long day, we were fortunate to pick up a fresh snowshoe track on the last mile or two of Unknown Pond. The track to Bulge and Horn should be well set now, for Unknown Pond less so. Thanks go to Suzanne, Joanie, Meg, and Zach for a fun if challenging day in the woods. |
