Really surprised to find a tick on me when I got home. Other bugs flying about but not bothering. |

Heavy black coat about 10-15 minutes from parking on Air Line. Also a bag with water bottle in it and note saying something like "leave water for trip down" thought it may have been RMC's. |

 | Comments: |
Exceptional day. Winds weren't an issue until leaving Madison mid afternoon. Only 8 hikers seen on such a beautiful day surprisingly. First time on King Ravine in quite some time. There were a few challenging spots which would've been difficult if the rocks had been wet. Also inside ravine doesn't see sun until about noon this time of year. Mostly enjoyable hiking on very dry trails; leaves covering many rocks, holes, roots etc. down low. |
