I've been wasting some time doing a little maintenance and sorting and tagging on the blog, and I just found this old post that's been sitting around as a draft since 2012.

I have no idea what I was planning on doing with it, but I went ahead and added a few photos and hit "Publish."

"I was very surprised to meet a total of 13 hikers coming up the trail. Only two groups had overnight gear. That is an awfully long day hike. Nice to see so many hikers putting in a lot of effort. The last 5 3/4 miles was very fast. I passed dozens of hikers going in and coming out."

Interesting photos from the trip described above - especially some of the old signs miles down the abandoned road at the original trailhead:
