 | Comments: |
Headed north towards col and then west up to flat summit. Passed the stone fireplace and then meandered a while in search of fire tower artifacts and summit canister. Finally spotted safety orange canister on a mossy little area surrounded by large scratchy blowdowns. Spent one hour on this one mile roundtrip adventure. |
