 | Lost and Found: |
Lost bottom section of a Gossamer Gear trekking pole pretty far up on A-Z. If anyone finds it, they can keep it or leave it at the kiosk and let me know. Sigh. I just bought a replacement section, but hate for it to end up being trail trash. |

 | Comments: |
We were the first car on the shoulder at 10:00. Wore snowshoes car to car, but encountered 4 others in spikes/bare boots. There was a little bit of fresh snow on the trails and lots of drifting on the ridge. Nobody had been out to Willey in a day or two so snowshoes were definitely the correct choice. |
