Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: just 2 minor easy rockhoppers not worth mentioning on the return via Link. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Could have maybe used a few more blazes, but pretty obvious where the trail is, so not really. The Link is loaded with obstacles (up & over and between rocks, roots, debris) but be patient you'll get there. Took it a bit slower than usual up Caps and down Castle over challenging (BUT FUN) rock sections.  
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Lots of friendly happy pooches! Made a friend in one Golden. 
Bugs
Bugs: a few (no-see-ums?)- bites. And some deer flies - minimal. 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Found nothing. Lost a chapstick. picked up some litter and carried out, as usual. :( 
 
Comments
Comments: Amazing day for my #46 Super fun and challenging route (but not overly so). Highly recommended! I could have stayed up there forever! Happy 4th!
