Treman SP on the FLT starting from Route 13
The steepness of the climb up to this clearing where I always feel compelled to do a group-shot tends to separate the hikers pretty widely — one-third of the group had fallen behind us and isn’t shown here
There was considerable snow on the upper part of the walk — but it wasn’t too slippery
Official head count: 19H, six D

Finger Lakes National Forest, Hector — Chicken Coop Road and snowmobile trails
Lots of snow up here — we started out on a nice trail through the woods but it quickly started to get harder and harder to walk comfortably
Frozen footprints, holes, churned-up surface — my knees and ankles really started to feel stressed — the snow off to the side of the path wasn’t stiff enough to walk on top — so we left the woods at the first opportunity
This is Chicken Coop Road — it’s not plowed in winter but it gets heavy snowmobile use and it’s nicely tamped down
This led us to a set of huge fields that get lots of snowmobile action
We kept going on the snowmobile trail until it was time to turn back — very nice scenery all around
Official head count: 18H, three D
