| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Finished our summer trail maintenance sweep...went up the Tripoli Road to Mt. Osceola last week. Today we focused on cutting back encroaching vegetation on the trail and placing a few yellow blazes where needed. This included blazing the Chimney so that it's clear that its the official trail! I can say with confidence that the entire Mt. Osceola Trail is in great shape!!! |

| Comments: |
Good day to hike up the peak even though we were in the clouds higher up. Comfortable temperatures and breezy. We met about 20 hikers ascending East Osceola. Trail was extremely dry. On summit of East Osceola we met about three people who accidentally put their hand on the freshly painted blazes so we all had a good laugh. Good camaraderie as the small summit area led to 'strangers' taking a break chatting with each other. |
