Bill is caught in a spruce trap while bushwhacking in March to Mount Lowell in New Hampshire

Because of deep late-winter snow, we find many "spruce traps" in the woods. In this case, Bill is trapped, while the rest of us bypass his unfortunate discovery. Spruce traps, dense woods and other bushwhacking hazards slow our off-trail progress from 3 mph to about 1/2 mph.
