| Comments: |
This loop in nice shape today. There was some mud and wet trail but was drier than usual compared to my previous hikes on this side. Lots of work on Fishin' Jimmy which will improve this trail greatly. Actually met 10 people in the Cannonball area with half of them being part of a 50K event that was going on in the notch. Another great day in the mountains! |
