 | Comments: |
forecast a bit off today as clear skies never materialized..minimal snow cover started around 4000 feet..temps were fairly warm today so no ice saw a few in spikes but never considered it personally....enjoyed some of the little side paths to get off Valley way a bit. Airline to Adams was fun with the sun almost burning through the fog as a tease..virtually no wind..but no views so we didnt linger long on the summits.. Enjoyed Hincks trail on descent.. Randolph Path was very wet its entire length but once onto Short Line things were better. Good to run into several friends along the way..There were lots of people out for sure despite the cloud cover. Great day out with Val..good to meet up with Larry along the way |
