How freakin depressing with the lack of snow? Brutal! Stashed the snowshoes under a log early on after it became apparent that there isn't even enough snow to truly post hole. Saw one dude wearing shoes, he must of had a real hell of a time navigating the washed out sections of blue ice/frozen mud. Microspikes worked well as the icey sections were pretty soft still. Nice views today. Dear MoNa, please give us winter back. |
