 | Comments: |
wildflowers galore on the ski trails..very scenic..arrived at summit of D to find ski area crew hard at work replacing the observation deck...Hooray!!!.another day or 2 of work by the looks of it..Much mud of various kinds..dry mud, some boot sucking mud, lots of slippery mud..actually..it was pretty muddy along the ridge..Thunderheads forming had us head down to the notch rather than back the way we came. Descent was good with some slippery spots..Heard thunder and a few spots of rain on 19 mile but no issues..One of the logs has broken off on a brook crossing on 19 mile making it a little precarious for some |
