Avoided the memorial day weekend crowds by taking a trip into the Blue Mountains. Started low at the Panjab TH and hiked Turkey Creek and then Mt. Misery up to Oregon Butte. Great evening views up there. There was a truck at Teepee TH suggesting the road from Godman is at least mostly clear of snow. Turkey Creek trail was quite muddy. Mt Misery trail to Oregon Butte still has snow to cross in places but wasn't too bad. Took a day hike out and back on the Smooth Ridge Trail to McBain Springs which was flowing strongly. Then continued on the Mt. Misery trail to Indian Corral and took the Panjab Trail back to Panjab TH. ~15 trees across the Mt Misery trail between Oregon Butte and Indian corral and another 6 across the Panjab Trail near its top at Indian Corral.

How bad are the ticks right now? Can you give a rough idea of your mileage per day? Thanks.

We were only pulling a couple of ticks off per day. The loop to Oregon Butte is 16 miles via Panjab.
