| Comments: |
Great day in the Bonds. It is a good time to visit the area since the days are still long, the bugs are gone, and the water level in the river is low.
Met Crazy Bob, a group I had met at Mt Carrigain, and two WMNF volunteers as well as many other day hikers and overnight campers. The volunteers had to dismantle illegal fire pits. The views were magnificent. |
