We were a party of six all wearing snowshoes as there was no other reasonable choice. So now there is a fine, well firmed up trench all the way. Kudos to Gentleman Jack M. who did most of the trail breaking. Ten inches of snow on Lincoln woods became eighteen and nasty drifts up on the ridge. My thanks also to Larry Y, Bob J., Ron K., and Rick W. for their company on a long trudge. |
