 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Anything that has water in it has dried up. One showed a tiny pool, and a trickling sound could be heard. Upcoming rain will change this, but crossings on Valley Way are small anyway. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are in decent shape. While going up that first steep portion of Gulfside from the hut, headed toward Adams, we found ourselves off the trail a few times, on loose gravel. On looking around, the "steps" with boulders lining the sides could be seen just yards away. |

 | Comments: |
Nice OTHH outing, with Larry finishing up his round 5. Any clouds grazing the summits went away before we got that high, although by mid-afternoon we could see some grazing the top of Washington across the Great Gulf. |
