|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
None, as the only two real cross points low on 19 Mile are bridged nicely. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Nice axe & saw work has taken out all the blowdowns. Saw one waterbar coming down from Zeta Pass that was partially undermined by runoff. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw a couple. Notable was one atop S Carter, a mix of terrier & rottweiler, I was told. It got aggressive toward one of us at one point and was restrained by the owner. I think that's the first time I've seen that in a trail dog. |
|
 | Bugs: |
None; end of season, too cool and windy. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
A few yards before the 19-mile trailhead I found a pair of eyeglasses; frame and lenses were intact, one temple detached and close by, the other totally missing. I put the parts on the trail sign. |

 | Comments: |
Nice fall day for a hike, despite the calendar. Northern Presidentials were cloud capped early but became totally clear as the day went on. Saw quite a few groups up there. Ten hours and 13 miles makes for a very long day for us senior citizens. |
