 | Comments: |
Beautiful day hiking up to Bald Knob. Saw no-one at all. Col between the first outlook on the Bald Knob Cutoff before the Bald Knob trail was very wet and muddy as were patches on almost all of the trails. Many were avoidable but did my share of mud-slogging all day. Very windy on the Turtleback summit......gust almost knocked me over. Not that many people out today considering how beautiful a day it was. |
