 | Comments: |
Easy walking all the way to the Long Trail. Skylight Pond Trail is in very good shape except for the one blowdown which could be cleared with a small saw. Ridge was very windy but LT has enough tree cover to allow for a pleasant walk to Breadloaf. Proctor shelter Slippery going on the scrappy, wet rocks all the way to the Emily Proctor shelter (see Trail Maintenance Notes). Felt our first spitting snow of the season on Wilson and again back at the shelter, no accumulation. Thanks Karen for another wonderful day. |
