	Dog-Related Notes:	Lil' Nugget had a great day and enjoyed sharing the summit with so many other dogs too.

	Bugs:	There were a few at the summit but none were bitting.

	Lost and Found:	Someone left a bucket hat at the summit it had Machu Peachu on the hat... I think it was packed down to the kiosk at the start of the trail.


	Comments:	It was another perfect day to be above tree line... Eisenhower does not see too many of these days. We enjoyed our extended stay at the summit (2 hours!) and just had a most enjoyable day over all... The kind of day that just makes sense. Trails are great and easy to travel. Edmunds path is always easy grades and well maintained. I hope this stretch of good weather above tree line continues for everyone. Be aware that the Highland games are also happening this weekend so, expect more traffic than usual.
