SAT/SUNDAY AUGUST 8TH/9TH, 2009
HOT AND HUMID

On Saturday, August 8, 2009 I arrived in the late afternoon so I only went up the Ridge Trail to the first false summit. Sunday, August 9, 2009 my disk was acting up so I decided to do an up and back to the Summit on the fire roads and Saddle trail. While enjoyable hikes both were very hot and humid. On Sunday the fee station thermometer was just below 100 degrees and the Old Rag dogs were hanging in the lot and not hiking the mountain. Nothing significant to report from a trail patrol standpoint. While the hikers were clearly feeling the heat all seemed to be doing okay and the crowds were relatively light.

Looking towards Mt Robertson from the view point just above the CCC stairs on the Saddle Trail.
Brokenback Run and the metal bridge on the Weakley Hollow Fire Road.
