Re: [at-l] TN Trail Conditions
I am wondering if it is that bad around where I am at (Max Patch/Hot
Springs NC area). When this snow gets out of here I will have to "take a
hike". It is so muddy right now underneath the snow. I don't need to
erode trails. I am sure that in a couple of weeks it HAS to be drier.
Right? I sure hope so! This is unreal!!
