 | Comments: |
Minimal loose snow - bare booted up, spikes down from Cabot cabin to roughly the 1-1.5 mile before trail flattens out. Actively warm temps causing melting conditions. Fair amount of water on trail and running underneath snow-packed trail. Some recent post holes to avoid. Trail towards Unknown Pond did not appear to be recently traveled if considering the loop.
Fresh weasel prints on the way out - not lucky enough for a sighting. |
