At Edmands TH only one other car at 8:00 am, 8 cars at 5:00 pm. Half full. Not busy at all at Highland Center either. Mt. Clinton Road is very bumpy coming from there, not too bad from the Base Road. I walked the road back from Jackson TH to Edmands TH. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Edmands path was fine today but later in the winter we’ll be wishing it was trimmed when the snowpack gets high. Same with a few other narrow spots on Crawford path that already had heavy laden boughs bending down, not sure if that can be helped though. |

Wow was it clear today. I could see the ocean. I brought my camera with the telephoto lens and it was worth it for the snow and foliage views that are hard to capture with a phone from up there. I had fun stomping through the snow drifts on the way to Monroe and back, but by mid afternoon my feet were pretty wet. The trees were dripping and will continue tomorrow it looks like. |
