| Comments: |
Monorail is somewhat stable in places but impossible not to posthole all over the place as it is quickly melting [snowshoes significantly reduce the postholing]. We used spikes the whole way. Sawyer River is big and loud. We got wet feet. Tried to use trash bags method but they weren't heavy duty and had holes. Luckily it was pleasantly warm. |
