None needed, one large tree down near the top has been down for a while. |

Day was gray in the AM so I opted to have breakfast with a friend instead of doing Pierce. On the way back through the notch it looked like it might clear at least down low so opted to do Willard today. Plenty of people on the trail including some 1st graders who were enjoying themselves on the top. It's been a down year for snow totals so I thought I'd go and walk to the actual summit in the woods. I left plenty of postholes in the woods and after some of them being over my knees, I gave up and went back to the well packed ledges and trail. |
