 | Comments: |
It’s not a myth, winter has loosened its grip on Monadnock! Dublin Trail was indeed 90% snow/ice free. The few patches we encountered were soft enough to walk in without slipping, and barely 2in deep. Now the bad news: water and mud on the trails is present and accounted for, BUT with some creative rock-hopping dry shoes ARE a reality ???? (but if you’re clumsy like me your right boot WILL need a hair dryer ????) |
