Hunter

Howie and I did a short hike in the Catskills today. We climbed Hunter mountain via Becker Hollow trail. There wasn't a lot of snow left after the melting last weekend ... and what was left on the trail was packed down. Near the top, I donned stablicers for better traction (they are like flip flops that velcro to your boots and have screw heads to bite into ice/packed snow). At the top there was a couple who had snowshoed over from the top of the chair lift at the ski center. They wanted to know if there was a short-cut to go back. Umm yeah...
