 | Comments: |
Just an amazing day. Trails were all in good shape. A little roughed up by bare boots from Adams to Jefferson. I stayed in snowshoes all day. Couple sections below Monroe and near Franklin a little bony, but too lazy to switch to traction. Thanks to those who broke out the trail to Webster. Looked like major effort was required! Met lots of people I had only known as Trailnames on postings. Lots of people finishing winter lists ( congrats Schorman!) starting new ones, or just enjoying a warm calm day on the Presi Range. Easy hitchhike back to Appalachia |
