For a short time i wasn't sure i was on the actual trail following east bank of little river due to lack of blazes (if i was indeed on trail) |  |  |  |  | Dog-Related Notes: | a few happy pups well behaved. |  |  |  |  | Bugs: | nothing major. flies in a few spots. |  |  |  |  | Lost and Found: |  |  |  |

|  |  |  | Comments: | A beautiful day, although very hot! went through 3 liters + of water. decided to do the "loop" and take my chances finding a ride or roadwalk. Thankfully I did. I suggest a car spot if possible for anyone doing the same. The holiday mob was obviously on more popular peaks today. saw a few groups but not the crowd i was expecting. It's great to be back after a long spring ice season away. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Mick Coste |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | mickcoste@gmail.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2016-05-29 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
