Hiking Roan mountain from the south Friday, nice day.
There was still ice on trail above ash gap. Treacherous crossing use caution.
We could not find water at ASH gap, no blue blazes, guide books did not agree where source was.
I nailed a pine deadfall just after heading down trail from trail high point. Head down watching the footing on ice covered trail, be careful. Too heavy to move.
Missed the sharp left hand turn while skating down the trail going north on the trail from Roan High Shelter.
Still a beautiful day to be on the mountain. Great views.
Saw what appeared to be a mountain bluebird, brilliant blue, with a white belly, going over Jane Bald.
