Five blowdowns on 19 MB - 3 before Carter Dome Junction 2 8-10 inches and one about 16 inches, 2 after junction 1 about 8 inches one about 4 inches; one 8 incher on Carter Dome trail below water crossing - all blowdowns are easy stepovers; Carter Moriah from Hight down to Zeta - a few places where vegetation is encroaching on trail and could use some brushing. |

Saw several on the trail today - no water between hut/ponds over summits down to water crossings on Carter Dome other than one small trickle in the lower switchbacks on Carter DOme so plan on bringing some water |

 | Bugs: |
Mosquitoes and other smaller insects harrased me on way up 19 MB to Hut - flies on top of Carter Dome and harassing some hikers in Zeta Pass but otherwise none up high but may have been to afternoon temps; mosquitoes reappeared when coming down on Carter Dome beginning at water crossings and followed me all the way to the trailhead. |
