All 3 main lots were sold out as of Friday evening, so I had a feeling this lot was going to fill up fast. About 15 cars when I arrived just after 9, about the same when I finished.
Shaker Farm Road is in its usual state; no better or worse than I remember it being in the summer. |

| Comments: |
Beautiful day on my favorite southern NH rock. Trails were in great shape, mud really wasn't bad at all. Patches of snow and ice higher up on Marlboro and above treeline, but nothing that can't be easily avoided. Spikes were in my bag, but there was never a thought given to taking them out.
Despite the recent snowmelt, water levels on the trails were surprisingly (disappointingly) low. |
