| Comments: |
Hodgepodge of trail conditions with some stretches of muck, some puddles, and some slippery ledge up high. No snow or ice. Nice variety of wildflowers, including trillium, bluebead lily, strawberry, and violet.
Cloudy day (I recollect a forecast of sun?) with temperatures touching 70. |
