 | Comments: |
This one started off with glass-like snow over the swampy area before transitioning into a rather nice snowshoe by the time the orange blazes came in (at the turn shown on navigation app). Very easy to follow once the blazes begin- terrific view of uncs and Potanipo Pond up top. We couldn’t see any firetower remnants with the snow but we did see the plaque and large Carin at the old site! |
