 | Comments: |
Woodhouse Trail was very grassy. Surprised I only found one tick.
A few muddy areas between there and the ridge.
Ridge was fairly dry, other than the wetland below Crosby.
Opted not to do the loop because the returns looked very grassy/brushy, i.e. tick central. Doesn't seem like these trails are getting a lot of use right now. Mt. Crosby views are greatly diminished because of the wind farm in the foreground.
Partly sunny afternoon with temperatures in the upper 70s. Did not encounter any people, but did manage to tree a good sized bear. |
