| Comments: |
Only myself and another working on grid in his 520's on Cabot today. Both snowshoes car to car. Nice snowshoe trench left but still could use some more packing down. Hikers (NETC report) breaking trail Friday for first 2.8 miles and then those (Face book report) yesterday for next 1.8 miles did a great job. Must have been difficult keeping near actual trail with recent snow cover. Far reaching views from Bunnell Rock, cabin and clearing above. Enjoyable, quiet hike on a nice trail. |
