saw that my black diamond mitt was found on the Tripyramids (I thought I dropped it on Tecumseh) on Monday so I swung by Pine Bend afterwards to see if it was still there and sadly it was not :( |

couple snowshoers out ahead of me so I went with spikes until the Cedar Brook Junction. Then snowshoes until returning to the car. The two ahead of me went left at the split so I went right figuring we could share the trail breaking duties. I didn’t pass them until finally on my way up North. some huge drifts up to the tits up high and a jungle gym of trees over the trail. par for the course right now. you definitely need snow shoes for the loop but spikes will suffice down low. with maybe a half dozen snowshoers out there today this one will be ripe for the weekend. |
