Glen, Krumm, and I went out to do our spring walkthrough on our AT section. It was 80 degrees. Ack - that's pretty hot for working. Glen hiked to the summit and removed 2 down trees on the way down. I worked lopping, only hiking part way to the summit. Our section is in good shape. We ran into 11 thru hikers. Krumm can be nervous with strangers, but he greeted them all. Spring ephemerals have arrived.

There's a waterfall under that blowdown.
We have nicknamed it Krummholz Falls.
Most reliable water source on our section. 

You will always find this dog in the water
