 | Comments: |
Trails were generally dry and good shape. A few minor mud patches in the usual places. Half the rungs on the ladder above Zealand Pond on Twinway are missing - every other - folks with short legs may not have fun on it. Prison wall on Mt. Bond has been scaled back to just a smaller scale scree wall. Not pluperfect views due to heat and haze, but decent. |
