|
 | Bugs: |
There’s tickies on the Crippies. Stopped the car more than once on the way home to eject one that we found crawling around (including one on the dashboard). Black flies were kept at bay for most of the way thanks to the wind, but as soon as the wind died down they were out and hungry. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
A UNE baseball cap is on a rock near the last house. |

Opted to avoid the crowds today. Met one trail runner and one hiker. It was glorious (except for the ticks). |
