Comments
Comments: Mrs Greatoz and Mrs CJ want to do the Midstate so the 4 of us started at the Southern terminus and hiked to Rt 16 in Douglas. The predicted snowstorm fizzled out early so there was just a dusting in some areas of the trail that melted by mid afternoon. We had the trail almost to ourselves. Saw a mountain biker and tracks in the snow from the aforementioned dog and owner.
