 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Saw german shepard on Air Line. It was vicious and trying to attack everyone, with it's owner holding it back and explaining it was a guard dog. WHY PEOPLE?!? WHY?! |
|
 | Bugs: |
Morning up Lowe's and early King Ravine we got swarmed with small breaks when the wind gusted. Mostly no-see-um, with some black flies and mosquitos. As soon as we started to get views on King Ravine we didn't see any bugs until about 2 miles from trailhead on Air Line. They weren't bad in the afternoon. |

A Fine day. Bugs bugged us so we came up with a game where anytime one of us said "bug", we had to drink water. This kept us hydrated on an extremely HOT day. There's still some ice and snow on some of the lower parts of King Ravine, but it's avoidable, we didn't need traction. We were surprised to not see a single soul until we started down Air Line. We skipped the summits today. |
