Lots of yellow jackets, wasps, etc. From Tubal Cain trailhead to Copper Creek campsite (3.5 miles), there were several wasp nests. Mostly about a mile from the trailhead. Fortunately, only 2 of my group memebers were stung. One of the nests was the size of a beachball.
Still a fair amount of wildflowers from C. Creek up to Marmot Pass. Fog and wind was pretty thick and breezy on Saturday. Couldn't quite reach the summit of Buckhorn, due the vertigo we were engulfed in. We could see about 75 feet away. Lots of fog.
Around 8pm, on the way down back to our campsite at Copper Creek, the winds picked up and direction changed. Within minutes many of the Olympic Peaks were visible.
A good trip with great friends.
