 | Comments: |
Barefooted all the way. No snow for the first 3.5 mile. The rest of the trail to the top has soft snow 1 - 3 feet which caused us to posthole a lot. No monorail. Heavy mud in some spots. The bog boards are covered with snow in some areas making them very hard to see/locate and navigate and if they have snow on them they are very slippery. |
