Re: Status of Jacks Mt.

Bacil, I used to worry more about the broken glass sharp rusty metal and dead deer. At any rate, this is just another sign of the aging and terminal decline HG participation.

Re: Status of Jacks Mt.

Bills on Fraiday

I was the the only one there except for some spring turkey hunters who hung around to watch. There was persistent thin to moderate cirrus overcast, no cu's, and cooler than Pittsburgh; upper 50's.
