TRAILS HIKED AND TRAIL CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED:
About 12” of lovely soft
snow. Some of the group used snow-shoes and rotated through who was
breaking snow (caterpillar). The day was beautiful, sunny, not too
cold and everyone had a good time. This section of the reservation
is less travelled and more isolated which made for nice snow. Our
lunch stop was at a frozen pond off a private road.
