Comments
Comments: On ridge Trail, I followed a snowshoer which was good. Snow was deep and I never saw a blaze. On Beaver Brook, I met Snowshoer and followed him, along with several others. Soon I noticed that the tracks had spread apart. Soon I was bushehaching in the krumholtz. Followed where the trees were pointing and after much effort saw the dome.

Snow shoes seem out of style. Ridge had been hiked by a snow short only and hiking was easy. Gorge Brook was well used by those without snow shoes. Lots of postholes and rougher snow to walk on. T
