Sitting On Top of the World

Went snow shoe exploring this weekend. Report:

The post title's an old song that Bob Wills re-arranged and make swing, but this is the more or less "true summit" of Saddle Hill. This shelter was designed and built about 40 years ago and despite some weathering on the lower levels it's held up fairly well. A Polish guy whose name I can't remember is credited as the designer and builder on the plaque attached to the shelter.

It sleeps 2 people comfortably, 3 with crowding. I replenished the shelter larder with 2 boxes of dry chicky noodle soup base. One of these years I will actually try and sleep there.

Bobcat tracks in the snow observed, also snow flea infestations, as well as ski trails by left behind two CC skiers who kindly signed the visitors log at the shelter.

The December 2008 ice storm had minimal impact, but did knock down one tree at the outlook viewpoint, which is good, not bad.
