AMC crew working on Twinway above Zealand Hut improving drainage primarily. Lots of nice quality work performed already. |

| Comments: |
Nice day in the Bonds. Didn't go down to Bondcliff (thanks Jadwiga for offer of ride around). All trails fairly dry and the few wet or muddy spots had rocks to step on if you looked close enough. The normal mix of day, few day or thru hiking traffic; all enjoying the fine weather. |
