Comments: Success Trail in not too bad shape...cleaned drainages and did some trimming though more will be required...after first loop jct., snow and ice became more prevalent and looks like it still could be a good amount up there..took upper jct to Overlook and back down...anyone interested in adopting the Success Trail contact AMC...I also ran into Lucky Pierre, an AT section hiker...hope he did not posthole too much today!!
