What an un-brie-lievable day! Muenster views due to the snowpack, you Gouda been there!
Queso the roadwalk is quite uneventful, and they have stacked logs in the old parking area. You pop in about 50' past the old gate area, its overtly flagged and very obvious. I was able to spike my way to the summit this morning in the cold temps. The trail is Pepperjack'ed with post holes, but they are from a few moose... Cheddar him than me! Aside from that the trails are in MozzerHella good shape. Down low, they see a lot of sun so its very easy to rototill. and my arch neme-Swiss, the mono rail was rotting and very narrow. Once into the spruce, the trails firmed up nicely and where like a frozen highway. Grey views from the cabin and the col between. Snow is almost to the bottom of the sign still. On the way down I ran into hiking royalty, The Senator! Was great to chat with both himself and his friend whom is an aspiring gridiot! The spruce area still held up on the way out, but once I hit the birch I got Feta with the snow and wore my snowshoes for the remainder of the day.
I have been feeling Bleu lately, so today was a welcome gift. I Camembert the last time I had so much fun hiking Provalone
Of course the first song on the radio on the way home was - YOU GUESSED IT! Poison's "Talk Curdy to Me" |
