Well went out for an overnight in the great gulf. Saw 4 tents at clam rock which were in the “cooking” area that didn’t move for 2 days and saw only a camp ground coming down great gulf the 2 days out there, so unsure where those people are. Set up camp about .2 miles in from the wamsutta junction at the campsite. Took the site to the right and had no issues. Making our way up got a few rain spits but nothing crazy. The group of camp kids coming down were a sight as I would not suggest coming down this trail ever with the rocks being so slick but we never saw them again so hope all went well. Not too many people on the summit so stopped in for a snack and bathroom break. Made way to wamsutta where someone has done trailwork! Yay! Trail looks great compared to the last time I was here. Made it to camp, got water, slept until the morning, |
