 | Comments: |
Overall pretty dry trails with many sections of muddy swampiness including significant chunks of Asquam ridge. Took the herd path for the scenic route over the summit of Blue including a pretty partial view back up to the summit from a fir wave and the most graceful bum touch ever. Forgot what summer conditions are like and other than the warm temps and not needing any traction devices not really that enthusiastic about it yet |
