 | Comments: |
Excellent hike of the Owl. The morning was crisp and cool as well as bug free. The trees were dancing in the wind at the summit. I met 7 hikers on the way out between the bushwhack and Black Pond. Many more enjoying the day on LWT. Bushwhack has definitely become an obvious trail. I missed just a small part in dark otherwise easy peasy. It was also nice to see the artifact has remained on the stone cairn.
