How thin IS too thin........... Forestgnome ~ We noticed the same thing coming down the Crawford Path last evening. 2 of us had MSR's and 2 had other more traditional style shoes. The "trad's" were feeling a bit Klutsy in the narrowish track. However, the 2 with the MSR's both "threw a shoe"...

"I" have it in one of the gardens in Sandwich :) The flowers open before the leaves fully unfurl, and only last a few days. The leaves are beautiful in their own right, and last quite a while thru Summer. Difficult to propagate from seed, but can be done from division after it has gone...

Similiar story to yours Kevin............ My hike was to Carrigain, for the month of April. I was about 1/4 mile from the opening on Signal Ridge. I was solo and making fresh tracks in the snowpack. From the south, a Moose had entered the trail and proceed up to head toward the open ridge...

Ever seen the top of North Twin look like a field with little sprigs sticking up through the snow? Ever seen a wall of snow 10 feet tall entering the summit clearing on Carter Dome? Ever witnessed snow covering every direction from the summit of Washington to the surrounding Gulfs & Ravines...

Nice to hear that you had a wonderful day ! "I have learned to mark important occasions. I try to find a way to put meaning into a special day, making it stand out so I will remember it as a bookmark in my life's story. If I don't, time robs the memories and they drift away as years pass."...

It's definitely like April out there on the trails. It's a mess. Everything is mushy. The warm trend is looking like it will continue through the weekend :( Snowshoes are most certainly needed, unless you don't care how you leave the trail for whom might travel it after you ~
