Comments
Comments: Bare booted entire trip. Snow and ice first started to appear at 3200'. North slopes in the dense old grow forest hold the most snow. No monorails or pervious foot traffic to help on Kenduskeag or Rattle River. Carter-Moriah trail had unstable monorail, less snow more ice. Another week and I'm sure it will be only a memory. Stony Brook completely free of snow or ice.
