Comments
Comments: No real goal just putting in miles training for Katahdin. Wanted to loop up Horns Pond Trail to AT towards Cranberry then down to road but not broken out. Broken to pond overlook. Ended up being 12.6 mile out and back. Trails packed in well. Microspikes until Horns Pond Trail then snowshoes.
