A very pleasant 4 days up to and over First Divide to Home-Sweet-Home and back on excellent trail. The crossing at Nine Stream is out--some of my party used a large log, I forded in sandals with no dificulty. A pack string was bringing up tools for a volunteer crew as we were leaving, so this problem may be fixed fairly soon. Lots of avalanche lilies at First Divide, and a 5-6"" bear track in the mud near the little pond just below the Mt. Hopper Way trail. Our weather was unsettled--lots of marine fog at Home Sweet Home at dusk, but clear views of Mt. Steel the next morning. I hadn't hiked this trail in nearly 25 years, but was pleased to see the meadows in good shape, not too much evidence of over-use. A sign at Home Sweet Home stated that the shelter was going to be ""historically reconstructed"". We set our camp up adjacent to several sling-loads of boulders, lumber, and a large tool chest. All established campsite bear wires and privvies were in good shape. We stayed at Nine Stream, Home Sweet Home and Big Log this time.
