| Comments: |
A great day on the ridgeline - sunny skies and quite warm. Lots of traffic along the ridgline and on Lafayette - easily 50+ people. The usual mud and water on falling waters along the brook - some of the rocks were a bit wet and slick though easily gotten up if you watch your step. All other trails were nice and dry. |
