Well, we started up the Ammo trail with the highest of hopes. I knew the way, I've been there enough lately... MEB, Carmel and I were joined by Arm. Giggy and Jeff. Thank you so much guys for breaking the trail, it was tought going at times. What a difference from last weekend when it was so icy. We made it up to the hut no problem, lots of interesting conversations of hikers favorite topics... 
After the guys congratulated me and headed off for more adventure, the girls and I headed up for Monroe. About half way from the hut we stopped in the wind and put on the crampons, it was rough going. A little further along, after batteling the high steady winds, trying to keep our gear on our bodies and our feet on the ground, we decided to bail. The wind was brutal, and the ice crystals it was sending at us were very biting.
After getting back to the hut we went into the dungeon to warm up and regroup. Okay, we had all our fingers toes and noses!
On down the trail we went, with thoughts of Moat Mountain brews and food in our heads.
Another attempt, a little closer, maybe NEXT time I can turn around in sight of the marker!!
Really it is ok with me. For me, hiking is about getting outside, meeting people, seeing the trail and the trees and the rivers and the mountains. And enjoying it all. It was nice to meet so many people today, and to be outside in the fresh, if a bit brisk, air. no Regretts! Christine
