| Comments: |
No traction needed thanks to the soft snow. I don’t think anyone had been beyond Zealand hut for a few days. Maybe since the snow Tuesday?
I met 3 young people when I was heading back. They indicated that they were going “all the way!”
I took this to mean that they were heading for the Bonds and Lincoln Woods.
I had hoped to get Hale also but after slogging to Zealand I had had enough. Maybe faint footprints heading up Lend a Hand? |
