 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The Lend-A-Hand Trl was wet and muddy. The trail has nearly no waterbars and I am not an expert enough to know where to put them, so the water was just standing there. All I could think is maybe this trail doesnt normally see as much rain as it has this time around? An extra 11 inches this year according to my weather band radio! |

no issues for Kali the trail dog, she put one foot in the mud when she slid off a rock and had mud socks all the way up but it didnt deter her at all. |

Great day to be out. Had Zealand summit all to myself and then had to share Hale with about 20 others, but it is a bit summit. Saw a few other dogs and many, many people. I was thinking these werent the most popular summits and it would cut down on the crowds. It was great to see Audra and George out on the Twinway, I hope you both had an excellent hike as well! |
