 | Lost and Found: |
Upon arrival to the Trailhead late Thursday evening I discovered a LOST BACKPACK covered in a light dusting at the trailhead. Assuming, in haste, it didn't make it into the trunk. None the less, it and its contents are safe. Hopefully someone will read this and get you my email address, describe it and I'll get it back to you... |

The Moose Loop. Conditions were perfect, cruising right over the top of the hard pack on micro spikes. Easiest Mt. Blue Shwack ever. Flurries early give way to big sun up Carraige, haze cast up high to increasing clouds down Jim and a steady snow driving out. |
