| Comments: |
Loop was dry and in good shape. Piper Mountain Trail was rather smokey due to a forest fire near Belknap Mountain Road. Heavy downpours this evening, so things may be a bit more moist tomorrow.
As previously noted, someone lit a fire on the top fire tower platform, burning a hole in the decking. As a result, only half the platform is open until the state decides what to do with it. |
