Who (Jackson): Eric Rathbun, Rocket21, Terra and Madison the Traildoggies

Who(Willey Range): Eric Rathbun, Madison and Terra the Traildoggies.

Where: Avalon Trail, A-Z Trail, Willey Range Trail, Mt Tom Spur. 10 miles 3400'

Conditions: Well packed trail to Avalon and Field. No recent tracks to Willey. Well packed from Field to Tom and back to Avalon Jct.

Total mileage and gain 15.2 miles, 5550', 9 hours, with a nice cocoa and cookie break at the Highland Center in between the two hikes.

Comments: cold temps changed our plans from a Bonds/Zealand Traverse. Colder temps and winds early in the day gave way to bright blue skies, warmer temps and light winds on the Willey Range.

Great day out in the woods.

Nice to see Kaseri (Jackson). Saw a few folks at the Avalon Jct but no one else in the Willey Range.
