|
 | Bugs: |
Lots of non-biting black flies near Appalachia and those clueless gnats up to about 3,500 feet. No bites but lots of buzzing. My hiking partner inhaled a few gnats as she is a "mouth breather" (i.e. can't breath just through her nose). |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
Picked up 5 energy bar wrappers over about a mile of Airline -- I'm hoping they were not thrown away but fell out of someones pack. |

 | Comments: |
Beautiful day -- amazingly warm for this time of year. Lots of sunshine above tree line. Its really typical spring conditions 99% of the trails we covered. Some deep blue ice under boulders which is really pretty but we hit no areas that required any traction so rock spikes went for a ride. |
