The mud in upstate NY right now is actually soul crushing
did a 14 mile loop near the NY/VT border this weekend trying to test out my cold weather sleep system. total disaster
The trails are basically rivers right now. Spent hours wading through ankle deep sludge because hikers keep trampling the edges and widening the paths instead of just walking through the mud
By night two my boots were completely waterlogged and all the designated dispersed sites were swamped out. Ended up just hiking back to the car and pitching my tent over at Kings Bay campground https://camphappygrounds.com/kings-bay/ near the lake just to find a dry patch of grass to sleep on
idk if its just an unusually wet season or if the heavy foot traffic is literally destroying the drainage out there. it kinda makes me want to stick to the couch until the ground freezes solid
