Comments
Comments: Bareboot to the Wilderness bridge for Ryan, Brenda, and me. Snowshoes from Bridge to Bondcliff, then bareboot to Bond. Snowshoes from then on. Zealand trail is kind of posted out, as is Bondcliff. Twisted my knee on the way up Bondcliff which became a real problem coming down Zealand. Zealand Summit to Zeacliff is a total mess..postholes everywhere. Time to take a month or so for this knee and to let the trails fix themselves (ie snow melts.) Please wear showshoes.
