 | Lost and Found: |
Found: One trekking pole on the Willey Range Trail shortly after the Ethan Pond junction. Also found a tin of lip balm and a full (and frozen) Smartwater bottle. I brought the trekking pole to the HIghland Center and gave it to the nice young man behind the counter to put in lost and found. Threw out the lip balm and recycled the bottle. |

 | Comments: |
Wore snowshoes car to car though we could have bare booted most of Willey Range Trail, AZ, and Avalon. Kedron Flume was a bit unconsolidated and also a bit bony in spots. Ladders on Willey Range Trail were partially covered but easy enough to negotiate. Really excellent conditions for this time of year. Thanks Ashley for the exercise! |
