Took summer route up and Engine Hill BW on way down. No comparison today the Engine Hill route far better. Great job by Grid group laying out a nice track here. Nice meeting many hikers today and matching trailnames with faces. Congrats to John and Pepper on their Grid finish. Also congrats to Lucky Laura for same over on Carrigain today and advanced congrats to LRiz tomorrow. Super day for Isolation today--higher elevation winds manageable here, great views, trails and hikers!! |
