Encouraged by HMJ's report for 8/10 that the water crossings were all okay we set out to go in and out Rocky Branch to Isolation. Trail, as usual, wet with lots of running water and mud. Started off in low damp clouds and had no views on the top as there were clouds everywhere. Many people doing Isolation on this (predicted) sunny day. Two of the OTHHikers met Rink from RI who was trying to find his way on his third attempt at Isolation, so he joined them and was very happy to get his peak at last! I think the trail gets a mile longer with every year that passes...or maybe I am just getting old! (or it is!) |
