Comments
Comments: Really wet & muddy early. It was significantly dryer on the way down. Very humid early, nice breeze higher up. Trail was surprisingly quiet today. Really no views from either peak. Very muddy between both summits, no avoiding the mud. You’re going to get muddy just embrace it! Trees are really staring to block the views at the lookout.

Finally met Remington34! Enjoyed talking with you & your son on Waumbek.
