| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Heavy rain last weekend caused the road to the TH to erode. Town redid the water bar at the last house. I found that my car started to scrape bottom and I backed out and parked at the winter parking lot. However, other sedans were parked at the TH parking lot. Depending on your clearance you can drive up to the TH parking lot. |

| Comments: |
It was a nice hike and was glad to run into Carl Rosenthal's Wednesday group with many hikers I had hiked with recently. I went down past Waumbek summit to the look-out point with lovely views of the Presis. A busy day with lots of hikers on this peak. |
