Short Description of Activity
Linda Buckley and Laurie monitored Placid Lake trail for solitude.
Reflection/Evaluation
What a lot of solitude we found at Placid Lake! My legs were aching trying to keep up with Linda, but I perservered and she was very kind to me and waited for me up the hills. We did the entire trail from Chemena to the PCT junction and noted absolutely zero people! We had lunch in the meadow and got home at a decent time, too.
