| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Georg and I went with saws prepared to remove any blowdowns on the Davis Path. Finding only one, which we removed, we instead removed 6 duck unders/climb overs on the Iso trail below the campsite. Still some left, though. Also tossed innumerable blown down branches from the trail. |

| Comments: |
One of the driest if not the driest, hikes of Iso for me as essentially from the Wilderness sign on most water was firmly frozen (Stream crossings excepted). Even Engine Hill not particularly wet or snowy. |
