|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Easy rock hops. Water was quite low but I searched and found some deeper pools to cool off in. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I spent some time trimming blowdowns, mostly on ISO West. I cut pretty much everything under 4”, what’s left can be stepped over or under easily enough for now. I counted about 40 on Davis path, from 4-8”, most are leaners. None of those are causing trail creep. Perhaps they can be used as bog bridges, just drop them right in the mud. |

 | Bugs: |
Bugs weren’t as bad as I expected. The mosquitos were only bad in the first half mile around 7:00 last night, that was it. There was a strong breeze at the summit. |

 | Comments: |
A great hike for a “heat advisory” day. The water was very tolerable, I sat in it for quite a while. It’s usually icy, and I could see snow up in Oakes Gulf too. Not much has changed on the trail since last year. I camped at a backcountry tent site last night for some peace and quiet, and after enjoying the summit this morning, I worked on cleaning up blowdowns before the day got too hot. I only saw 2 other hikers the whole time. Checked off Isolation for round 8 and gridded out June. |
