 | Comments: |
Zealand Rd was a icy and slick. From there, the trail was well-packed, but watch out for those treacherous postholes. Guyot, Bond, and Bondcliffs were mostly bare with a side of spring snow. Anything above treeline was a mix of soft snow and exposed rock. The steep step after Bondcliffs heading toward Lincoln Woods was manageable. We put snowshoes back on here, mostly to avoid getting our ankles twisted in a posthole.
Overall, it was a warm, spring-like day with pleasant conditions. Except for Lincoln Woods which was flat, endless, and as monotonous as ever. Meow. |
