 | Comments: |
Lower Mt. Prospect Trail is firming up from usage, but it's still soft enough for barebooters to be churning and installing random postholes. No barebooters made it above the first viewpoint. Side trails are very soft. A barebooter postholed one, but didn't make it too high (fortunately for the rest of us).
Sunny afternoon with temperatures dropping into the teens. |
