Lost and Found

Comments
Comments: Great weather for this hike. Bright skies, warm temps and a pleasant breeze from time to time. Trails are mostly dry with avoidable gushy spots here and there (although I didn't avoid them all). I planned an out and back to Bondcliff, mostly due my disorganization in planning a traverse but felt good at Lend-A-Hand and grabbed Hale for the six pack (five that counted). Quite a few folks doing varying hikes today and it was good to run into Paul again.
