 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
There were about 8 cars in the lot at 6:15am, which surprised me. I didn't see all that many folks early on so I have no clue where they all were. At 1p when I finished, the lot was full and there were quite a few cars parked on the road. |

Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Totally rock hoppable even for short legged folks. Just choose your route and test the rocks for wobbliness. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
A few stepovers and one duck under. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
6 most excellent doggos were seen today and all seemed to be having a great day with their well prepared humans. HUGE shoutout to Thor. He received so many pets today and was exceedingly dapper in his bow tie. Congratulations to him for reaching 39/48. The bestest boi. |
|
 | Bugs: |
This was supposed to be a solo hike. I didn't realize that I would be joined by 1000 of my closest mosquito friends. I managed to ditch them close to Signal Ridge, only to have them rejoin me for my trek back to the car. Bug spray was helpful in keeping them from invading my personal space. |

 | Lost and Found: |
Nothing lost and nothing found. |
