    Nicely done! great pictures bring back fond memories! Glad to see the new bridge, hope it doesn't wash out. The cliffs you found on West Flow are the Wildcliff Ledges. Nice bushwack!

      PS: "Who cooks for youuuuuuu... who cooks for you alllllll?"
      I would say so! Thanks for the correction on the birds, I knew that, but had a classic Tyler-ditsy moment. I would love to paddle up to High Falls, it'd be an excellent camping site in warm weather.
      I usually cook for myself, but this whole trip I used dry food:
      12 packs of pop tarts
      4 sandwiches
      18 trail bars
      4 bagels
      2 apples
      1 quesedilla
      1 burrito

      I ate all but two packs of pop tarts, one apple, 6 bars, and one sandwich!

      I'm looking foreword to may.
      I'm sure it will be gone by then. Maybe a few little patchy spots, but it was melting pretty fast in the warm sun. It would be nice if someone put some cross boards across the bridge to make it a little more legit, but I was just glad to have a bridge. The water really wasn't that high, I don't think. I didn't have a single water crossing issue, besides being clumsy and slipping in a few times.

      Thanks! At first I thought I was trespassing on the cliffs, and was like "blast it!" But when I looked on the map I saw that they were on state land, so it worked out well. Lovely views of the lake from up there!
      Next time I'll go clockwise I think, and take 4 or more days!

        The bridge is new this spring, at least it wasn't there in November. It must be a work in progress. I am glad they got past the non-conforming use issues.I know they were looking for historical pictures or records that showed a bridge there.

          Well I'm glad that you ate well, and I'm sorry for the somewhat obscure quote which is actually the common way of writing the call of the Barred Owl.
          The Barred Owl’s hooting call, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” is a classic sound of old forests and treed swamps. But this attractive owl, with soulful brown eyes and brown-and-white-striped plumage, can also pass completely unnoticed as it flies noiselessly through the dense canopy or snoozes on a tree limb. Originally a bird of the east, during the twentieth century it spread through the Pacific Northwest and southward into California.

                  Not bad at all. There were a few spots, but nothing too bad. I just threw some smaller sticks off the trail, but there were no large trees down that I recall. It was actually one of the best maintained and easiest portions of the trail!

                  And btw, thanks a bunch, fingerlakeshiker!

                    Tyler,

                    Awesome Trip report. The CL50 looks like a great hike. Can't wait to get my feet on the trail!!!!!!!!
                    Well my style of stress relief
                    Sometimes disturbs the peace
                    The police show up
                    And cut donuts in my yard
                    And while the Zeppelin's playing loud
                    They run off my party crowd
                    They cuff up my wrist
                    And throw me down so hard

                          Haha, thanks so much! I wish I always had good food like that to eat!

                            Tyler,

                            Another handy option is the 99c dbl cheeseburgers off the McDonals Menu. You can stow them in tupperware, and eat them exclusivly on your hikes. Cheap, fairly light, and the smell of the lean-to will keep any resident wild life at bay while you sleep! hahahahahha

                              Excellent idea. It's actually pretty amazing how good a cold, cheeseburger can taste on the trail, I was impressed.

                              And I think that tupperware is one of the most under appreciated tools of an outdoor trip! It has so many uses!
