Lost and Found
Lost and Found: I lost my camera on this hike, and didn't recovery it while retracing my steps. If anyone happened to find one and pick it up, please contact me at dan.goyette@gmail.com. I had it at the flume, and then noticed it had fallen off maybe a half mile after joining the Ethan Pond trail,  
 
Comments
Comments: I hiked in to Ethan Pond Campsite to get set up for an overnight, and then summitted Willey. The way up the flume trail and Ethan Pond trail were mostly bare rock and earth, with a few icy patches. The way up to Willey was mostly the same. I didn't use traction at any point during the hike, since it was easy to step around the ice. This could have easily been an early fall hike after the first frost.



Lost my camera on the hike, in case anyone spotted it.
