 | Comments: |
With the poor weather forecast in the north, opted to tackle a couple NH 500 highest today in the south. Followed the Greenway through a mix of spring snow. Bushwhack section to the summit canister was soft 1 and a half to 2 feet deep mashed potato variety snow that made for slow going. |
