    Great trip report and photos as always! I'm hoping a couple of the roads are still open as the Winter season opens :)

      Thanks Scott, it would be so great if some of the roads stayed open until New Years!

    Cris,
    Loved the pictures, some are petty comical. Do they make micro-spikes for dogs, it looks like jack could have used them.
    It's nice seeing areas I've been in but in a differant season. I was planning on hiking Cabot that day but was leary of the forecast so went on the day before. Looks like I could have stuck with my original scedule. PS thanks for the advice on doing Cabot before the York Town Rd got too bad. -- Marvin

      Hey Marvin, way to bag Cabot, the Bulge, and the Horn, Glad you had a great hike and don't have to deal with that road when it's snowy! Jack could have definitely used puppy microspikes for a few spots but at the end of the day he still has more energy than all of us combined!

      Happy Hiking!
