 | Comments: |
Trails were very wet but beautiful scenery today. We were able to stay fairly dry until the crossing about a mile North of the Rocky Branch shelter. Bushwhacked up to East Stairs from Stairs col trail. Steep bugger. Let me know if you find a Zpacks Triplex in a dyneema stuff sack. 207-671-8995 |
