Saw a few Labs of various colors. Fairly well-behaved. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Mosquitoes and black flies in the parking lot in the morning. Black flies and no-see-ums on the trail. DEETed up and kept moving so they weren't bad. Black flies in parking lot at end of hike. They were mostly an annoyance and did little or no biting. Several made the 60 mile ride back home in the car and will likely improve the MA gene pool. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Notices posted trailside of someone losing a necklace and offering a reward, but we found nothing and (I hope) didn't lose anything. |

 | Comments: |
Nice hike over the two Packs with Snapsquatch. We returned over the Cliff Trail, nice views although somewhat limited by cloudy conditions. Sun in and out most of the day. Not a lot of people on the trail, for a holiday. Maybe the threat of rain kept people home. Only a few sprinkles however. |
