Carter Moriah Trail was a mess. Due to blowdowns and leaners, the trail had to be memorized in order to follow it while breaking it out. I removed a bunch of blowdowns, but plenty still remain. |

| Comments: |
Above first water crossing, no one had been up this way since the previous snow storm. Stony Brook Trail was in decent shape, now halfway decently packed. Carter Moriah Trail as a mess - lots of blowdowns and leaners. Decent sized snowdrifts as well. Glad I had memorized this trail last year - would have been almost impossible to stay on it otherwise due to the drifts and blowdowns. |
