|  | Date of Hike: | Saturday, November 14, 2020 |  |  |  |  | Parking/Access Road Notes: | Gate opened until 11-29 for deer season so one can use upper lot. Fine condition today. New bathroom built off upper parking but don't believe it is usable yet; however still 2 portapotties at beach parking. |  |  |  |  | Surface Conditions: | Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |  |  |  |  | Recommended Equipment: |  |  |  |  |  | Water Crossing Notes: |  |  |  |  |  | Trail Maintenance Notes: | Trails taking a beating lately; many hikers afraid of stepping in mud. Sad to see the seven year old Ridge Tr. today compared to its early days. |  |  |  |  | Dog-Related Notes: | Few hunters up here today so blaze orange vests recommended. |  |  |  |  | Bugs: |  |  |  |  |  | Lost and Found: |  |  |  |

Only snow/ice was an ice glaze on the tower steps. |  |  |  |  | Name: | franco |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | cockerbuff@aol.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2020-11-14 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
