Just another great day on the Catamount Trail! Today
fourteen of us did all of Section 2, still following the
abandoned Hoosac Tunnel and Wilmington Railroad. We
had some new slightly crusty snow and blue wax
temperatures. We made good time, with lunch just
before the rock cut. We slowed down a good deal once
we left the railroad bed and got into the ups and downs
of the "single track" sections in Medburyville. The stream
just north of the trail head at Medburyville South is now
frozen and crossable. We enjoyed all the trail mowing
that Steve Marcotte does to keep the final section open.
All these seeps and streams were frozen and closed
enough to be easily navigated as well.
