 | Comments: |
Trails are really dry right now, even the usual mud pits on Davis Path are mostly dry and can be walked right through without sinking. Bog bridges are slowly rotting away, watch out for nails sticking out as a few are tripping hazards.
Sarge had an excellent morning bopping up above treeline and then down to Isolation, views were hazy but pretty great looking across to Washington and the southern Presi's.
Bring water for the pups as there is none above treeline and along Davis Path. |
