Comments
Comments: We managed to get in 4.0 miles and 750' elevation gain. Region around Mount Wachusett received maybe 4" fresh somewhat damp snow. We could have bare-booted, but wore snowshoes with a view to packing what snow there is. Rain is in forecast for tomorrow so doesn't look good for snowpack.
