Some tidbits of trash including a corner from a Trojan wrapper near the south junction of Mt Tecumseh and Sosman Tr. I guess Mt Tecumseh is someone's lucky mountain. :) |

Part one of a Waterville double header. We followed the Mt Tecumseh Tr all the way to the summit then Sosman Tr across to the ski area. There were still a few small patches of snow but easy to step over or around. The rain held off and on the summit of Tecumseh I could see patches of blue sky. I even put on some sunblock at the summit. For a brief moment I could see two peaks to the east poking up through the clouds. I assume it was two of the Tripyramids. The ski trails were dry and we descended back to the view spur and finished up on the trail. Saw only one other person about 1/4 mile from the parking lot.
