Lots of socks hanging from branches, like women's undergarments that hang from branches along certain downhill ski lifts. I rescued the nicest one; describe here, and I will leave at the Mountain Wanderer Book and Map Shop in Lincoln for you to pick up. |

 | Comments: |
Perfect day for this hike; saw 50+ others, including a probable meet up group of 20+ On their way down at the foot of the OH slide. Two young women going strong for the summit near the the top of the slide on my way down, so this was the rare day that I was not last on top. Another notch in my over 60, solo, pm grid. |
