Copious mud, but you knew that already! ;-)
Some easily avoidable monorail on Crawford between Crawford /Mizpah Cutoff junction. More significant monorail between Mt Pierce and Mizpah, but nothing too crazy. All will be gone within 10 days, imho.
6 trail runners sighted. 2 women running with their dogs who were incredibly polite and warned us they were coming our way. 4 men. One walking who was very polite. 3 running as a group so engrossed in conversation and in their in little world that they wouldn't have cared if they ran over us. I trail run, too, so I notice how folks handle themselves with other hikers and walkers. Up your game, dudes!
Otherwise folks were friendly and it was a great day to be out hiking! |
