The weather was better than we expected in the afternoon after our blue sky morning run up Waumbek. And we were happy for balmy temps in the 20's at the trailhead. The trail was well packed until 1/4 mile from the summit at the last ledge and then we broke trail to the summit. Looked like whoever was there this weekend almost made it to the summit. Thanks for your efforts. No traffic on Carter-Moriah heading south from the ridge junction. There was traffic coming up Carter-Moriah from the north. When on the ridge I heard a faint cry for help. After stopping and listening carefully I looked down and saw a face deep down in a posthole. Apparently that bare-booter sank further than he expected. I was tempted to walk away but his pitiful pleadings persuaded me to help and I lifted him out. I did give him a lecture about the necessity to wear snowshoes to shape and maintain the trail. Hopefully he learned a lesson and will tell his friends. |
