Mt Tecumseh via Mt Tecumseh Trail/Sosman trails Sun 6/7

Conditions: amazingly dry with limited mud, and only a few bugs but not the biting kind. Easy stream crossings. Great hiking even despite overcast skies.

Nice early training hike but BE FOREWARNED - the Sosman Trail sign is missing at the summit, therefore if returning heading eastward off the summit you must take the unmarked trail. We discovered this the hard way; we asked a wizened-looking guy at the summit if the Mt. Tecumseh trail off the top was the one to take back to the ski area, and he said yes. WRONG. We figured it out albeit after 30 min of extra up/down as the skies grew darker, it began to rain, and the 15-year old autistic wonderboys were getting tired. Note to self: never trust anyone except my map and compass with directions.

special equipment: bug spray, although we didn't use it due to drizzle/rain. Map and compass!

MK, Paul and the wonderboys
