Comments
Comments: So we're all just continuing to act like The Horn and The Bulge shouldn't have a cult following because they were named 150 years ago and now are Trailer Park Boys level slang for...you know? Ok, I'll go along with it for now.

Trail is in great shape. Chatted with a couple of fun hikers and ran into gridders John and Mel for the second time this year. Also had 10 very enjoyable minutes sitting on The Horn by myself in the sun.
