| Comments: |
The logging road from the Bucklin Trailhead was muddy in spots but nothing that wasn't expected for this time of year. There was intermittent sections of snow that went the entire width of the trail just before the bushwhack. There was no evidence of anyone having been on the trail or in the woods in a while - this was confirmed when we reached the canister since the previous sign-in was February 1st. The snow along the bushwhack wasn't necessarily deep but it was unstable and "wet". |
