Trip Report

Overcast with mist that for a few minutes must have been rain made for a pleasant morning hike up the main trail to the summit. We stopped for photos at the bench that the Obsidians painted on last month's trail maintenance. There wasn't much litter to pick up since Obsidians on hikes that week had already carried out plastic containers, dog bags, and paper. Out of town hikers shared positive comments about the trail and how clean it was. We met two hikers who plan to sign up for some of our hikes. Our meander was a friendly "Good Morning" change of pace.
