Comments
Comments: I knew it would be crowded today, but I passed everything from solos to groups of up to eight about every 10 minutes on my descent. And everyone had a dog except me. I was hoping that I wouldn't run into a Ranger and be fined for not having one. Summit was socked in when I got up there, but seemed to be clearing on my descent. On the way home via the Kanc, all the lots where filled with vehicles lined up and down the road. More than I've seen even on a summer weekend day. But, I had the chance with so many out today to have some nice chats.
