 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I was the first car in the lot at 7:30am. There were a few more upon my return but lost of room for more. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Leaves - Significant/Slippery |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
I used the old trail so there were the 3 small crossings. The first one did require me to use a few slightly submerged rocks. Maybe if my legs were longer I could have used all dry rocks but that ain't happening. My feet did stay dry so I must have chosen wisely. The other 2 crossings were super easy. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
There are still a few stepovers and that one duck under down low. The trail is in really nice shape. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
No puppers seen today. :( This is a good route for doggos - it's just a long day. Bring plenty of water for them. |
|
 | Bugs: |
I inhaled one today. Other than that they weren't around much. Leave it to me to find the only bug out there. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
I hit the lost and found bonanza today. #1 a partially eaten and still in the wrapper Quaker chocolate chip granola bar. Given that I didn't know the owner and had plenty of snacks, I packed it out without sampling. #2 a soft water bottle thing with a carabiner. According to the information on the back you can attach a filter to it but there was no filter in it. Please reach out if this is yours and I will get it back to you. #3 2 painted rocks. I found both on the summit and they were made by the same person. This makes 5 of these that I have found now by this person. They are quite the artist but LNT people. I have a dedicated shelf for them and at the rate I am finding them, I am going to need a bigger shelf. |
