    Default Trail legs and snow, snow and more snow.

    Well I had a good day of hiking Sat. Mother nature had a different plan for my day than I did. When I got to the trail in High Point NJ. I found it just about impossible to walk thru. Sunk right up to my crotch on every step. I hiked about 100 steps before I decided it wasn't gonna happen. I still managed to get a good day in though. I found some trails going past Summit lake that run parallel to the AT. They had been somewhat packed by a few snowmobiles. Still fell through every few steps so it made for some tough hiking. I was shot after about 12 miles. Getting those trail legs ready. 385 days left for training.

    With the weather this year, sounds like you needed snowshoes.

    Around here the only activity has been Blotz Road to Warner Hill. A short treck. Bad news is I always find myself carring out other peoples garbage from Warner Hill.

    The snow was so virgin and deep I don't think snow shoes would have been easy.
