| Comments: |
Nancy Pond Trail was all packed out thanks to four campers from Friday. On our way out someone had bare booted and postholed in places. Our snowshoes and tonights snow should fix that. On the bushwack we were good for the lower third and the top third in following the herdpath/trail. Unfortunately we were off on the middle section which was steep, sprucy and snowy. Trip down was easy. Snowed lightly to moderately all day. No real views. Thanks Tom good like in Baxtr. We had a great time.
