1/20/20 hike. Sharing photo to show conditions of trail. Icy and slippery. Bring clip-ons for shoes to get better traction. Snow is not deep. Just icy.

My longer hike is because I hiked up to Church's Pond as part of Jones Whites Creek Loop. ALL 3 WATER CROSSING bridges or logs have been washed away. — 8h 00m
