| Comments: |
The lower part of the trail was covered with leaves and mostly dry. Further up though was a different story with water running down the trail and mud and bog everywhere. Had to criss cross the trail many times to find areas where you could climb safely. Boggy areas with boot-sucking mud in places and the bog bridges were very slippery making it a careful hike both up and down.
Very windy and cold at the top with clouds blowing over so we didn't spent any time there and did not attempt to go look for the plane which we had hoped to do. Just wanted to get down to a sheltered spot asap! Congrats to John B for finishing his 52 wav. Thanks to Cymbidium as well. |
