Comments
Comments: Started in a steady rain at 7:45 which subsided. It was hot and sticky and foggy.
Water crossings are manageable as rock hops, although rocks are very slippery!
Saw a couple that seemed to turn around just as you descend west peak towards the main peak. I wonder how many people mistake the summit spur area of the west peak for the summit of Techumseh proper?
Where have all the bugs gone?
