 | Comments: |
After warmup on Elmore had just enough time to squeeze in a Mansfield hike on another nice day. Only 4 hikers met on trails--another 6-10 near summit from other points. Usually do ridge walk (Chin to Nose) also, but unfortunately no time today. Trails all in great shape. Few wet, mossy rocks midway on Profanity Tr.. |
