| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Lot was full at 8am and I was the first on the side of the road. Road was lined well past the bridge when I returned at 1:00.
Lafayette Place..........holy %^&*!! I have never seen it like that ever, even on a holiday. Why would you want to? |

| Water Crossing Notes: |
The "herd path" bypassing the first two crossings is nice and very easy to follow. Saw lots of people on the other side at the first crossing putting their boots back on.
The third crossing was an easy rock hop at a point just upstream where someone has built a sketchy log bridge. Tucker did use the bridge on the way back so it will support 50lbs at least. |

| Comments: |
Sloppy hike with the recent rain. Usual muddy spots and then some. Rocks and roots were pretty slick up high with a dusting of snow and ice which was melting fast once the sun came out.
Not as many people on the summits as the lot would have indicated. |
