|  |  |  | Comments: | I walked up FR93 past the beaver pond. the flood was up to the road edge. maybe the gate will open soon.  after a mile I went left onto FR93B, then up to a snomo trail to the left. this went down over mill brook via a bridge. from there it was an open bushwack for quite a while before it finally steepened up to the summit. i'm the 2nd signer this year. the descent was a breeze down the gentle slope though I did hit FR93B further east than I should have. not bad overall, just some wetness from recent rain. |  |  |  |  | Name: | jack from littleton |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | jsbarry@roadrunner.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2017-08-12 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
