Third attempt to get East Sleeper. First two thwarted two years ago after the major storm and blowdowns. No problem today, followed East Sleeper trail down off Rollins and up East Sleeper. Trail broken out earlier in the day made finding the trail easy. Many blowdowns on East Sleeper. Weather cleared out at the end of the day, warmer temps on the way down made the trail soft.
Met another hiker on East Sleeper who came up Downes. She had to break trail most of the hike up. She mentioned there was one major water crossing that is going soft.
Thanks Bob and SherpaTom for a great day and bagging my 88th NE 100 HH. |
