First, a huge thank you to all who broke out trails - including those who finished up the breaking to the summit yesterday.
Lincoln Woods was well packed by hikers and skiers, and is doable in bare boots or light traction. From the Black Pond trail onward, snowshoes are the way to go - there is a lot of snow out there. There were 9 of us today who packed down all the trails further, so it should be really nice until the next snowstorm. Both bushwhacks broken out nicely and get you right where you need to go.
Great day out with a big group - made the long trek much more fun: Claudette, Van, Ken, Rick, Neil, Betsy, Keith, and Ron.
If you need the Owl, now is the time to get it before the next snowstorm! |
