Bugs: Actually saw one fly land on the snow. Thought that was interesting  
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Didn't lose anything, but found a man using his ham radio setup at the summit. He said he just got a Morse Code message from a hiker on a Colorado summit. Very cool 
 
Comments
Comments: The trails were snowshoe packed. Some bareboot post holes here and there. Had to stay in the center of the trail or you sink up to your knees in the soft deep snow. Otherwise a great hike today.
