We bare-booted the tower access road up to the antenna, from there we strapped on snowshoes heading west toward the southern bump. Snow depth were somewhat deep, grade was moderate and soon enough we dropped off the south bump, turned northwest at easy grade but deeper snow dropping thigh deep at times, started seeing lots of moose scraps, climbed over the middle bump seeing even moose scraps, dropped off the middle bump, skirted to the east of another middle bump, climbed to the north bump staying to the west of some thick spruce, circled around to the far end of the spruce and hit the recognized hit point.
Glad we didn’t try to push through the spruce seeing the jar was just outside the far end of the spruce. We followed our tracks out easy enough.
Nice getting back to snowshoeing after snorkeling in the western Caribbean last week!
