Dave, Knobbie and I ascended Tecumseh, bareboot to Sosman. Snowshoes to start of GT through to Green Mtn, following faded yellow blazes, then continuing to Foss Mtn. There are currently 2 routes down from Tecumseh, one more direct and the other more switchbacks. The route today was the direct one, dropping us approx 300 feet in no time.
Descending Foss was a bit of a puzzle at times as the small GT cairns were less visible. We reconnected with the original 1860 GT trail to the slab campsite below Foss.
Snow became a bit sticky as we neared Dickey northern ledges.
Wore spikes down Dickey. Bareboot last .5
2 drivers found an $80 , excessive, punitive fine on the windshields for failing to get a $5 USFS pass. Empty lot. WTF. |
