 | Comments: |
Few sprinkles on both Wildcat D and later on Wildcat A. Refreshing breeze and minor rain during road walk. Fairly nice views all day. Trails excellent, mostly dry. All was well until badly rolling ankle near Carter Dome Tr. jct.. In hindsight fortunate to happen on lower Nineteen-Mile Brook Tr. and not up on ridge. |
