 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All very easy - except for a very precarious single log bridge coming down the Horns Pond trail. Looks like the area has washed out a few times, but it's very sketchy. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw a few. Noticed on top that several people had not picked up their dog poop, which causes swarms of black flies to gather. Don't be that person. |

ALL the bugs were out. Got worse as it warmed up. Bring dope, lots of it. |
