Great day, far less wind than forecast. We did a CCW loop to get the Falling Water crossings done early. Lots of ice on Falling Waters between second and third crossing. 3 or us had Hillsounds and did fine,one person had Kahtoolas had a rougher time (but still did the loop). There is no sign of monorail yetOBP in the afternoon was wet and slushy with still plenty of ice.
It feels like April 12th instead of March 12th. |
