> border on August 21.  Along the trail I became known as Suge, as in Sugar.
> Sometimes Sugarmonkey.  The trip was fantastic and the weather perfect a
> few minutes of rain outside Mojave, 2.5 inches of snow north of Tuolumne,
> heavy rain one night in Oregon, south of Crater Lake, and two days of
> fog and mist in Washington, unfortunately when I was going around Adams
> and later near Glacier Peak. No fires problems.  The trail is in
> immaculate condition.  Even section O was clear of blow downs and the
> trail easy to follow.  Of course, I got lost a few times, but never
