| Bugs: |
No problems until we were heading up to Mt. Bond, then the deerflies started buzzing around. After that, not too bad until heading out the Zealand trail. Mostly just annoying. I know I got a few deerfly bites, but apparently I don't have a reaction to them. |

| Comments: |
The only thing that could have made the day better would have been slightly cooler temperatures or a little more of a breeze! Otherwise, perfect day for a Bonds traverse. There's more elevation gain in the northbound direction, but I felt that was a better option than the death march out through Lincoln Woods. |
