 | Lost and Found: |
I lost my dog's Fi GPS collar between West Quarry and Rand. I know where it is and it's off trail 20' or so and unlikely to be seen, but if spotted, please leave at a trailhead and email me which one. I plan to go back up for it before the storm on Saturday night. THANK YOU. |

Conditions are WET. Wear your waterproof boots. There's still some snow and ice areas that make microspikes helpful, but rock spikes did fine and any good spikes will not be good by the end. It's mostly wet and puddled bare ground. Barebooting might have been possible if taking it very slow, but if the temp drops, there will be many more icy surfaces. I felt better using old spikes. |
