 | Comments: |
A fine, albeit blustery, walk along a portion of the ring dike of a former stratovolcano with Winter J...Spikes were on for most of the day, but snowshoes will be the smart, practical, and reliable footwear after the next good snowfall. Faraway Mountain Trail was melted out and soggy in places - but generally avoidable. O10's are done...no oxygen concentrator needed. Just a patch. Happy Solstice, y'all. |
