This is what I get for not reading trip reports.. at mile 2.5 there’s a blowdown hell that would take fairly intensive climbing to cross.. on a rainy day like today it seemed difficult to impossible with all the slippery logs and mud. Also I’m still nursing a messed up knee that isn’t so good at deep squats, etc.
So, a shorter hike than usual, but I wasn’t really complaining considering how wet we got in those 5 miles. Also we had time to go home and make vegan “just egg” scramble with all the porcinis and bear’s tooth mushrooms we found.
Very pretty trail for a rainy fall day, just watch your step on those log bridges when it’s wet!

Love the porcini and hericium. Those icicles get me every time. Thanks for sharing.
