 | Comments: |
Old Man and the saw and I did the water crossings on the way up but used a whack that avoided both crossings on the way out. Apparently it was made by people rescuing stranded hikers during the rain. You can get on it either by going to the left instead of doing the first crossing going up, or coming down taking a right just before the first hard crossing coming out. We met a lot of great people today, including LarryY's friends, "The Posse", and a very nice young couple with a great dog who Larry gave a ride back to their car down the notch. Trails are hard with lots of post holes. |
