Field and Willey was my plan. Lots of snow and was happy to follow in a strong trail breaker today, breaking any where from 8 to 18 inches. The tracks filled fast with blowing snow and there is a decent trench but not consolidated. It snowed Monday and rained all day yesterday - I completely enjoyed the snowy utopia. Nice half hike with Billy as he continued on to Tom. Also nice to see Hiker Ed. |
