Whitehead Crossing, 4/22/15

I didn’t take any pictures, but I wanted to make a briefer report on my visit to Whitehead Crossing yesterday evening. Went to both Red Head and WH X-ing proper. Tried to figure out the trail layout at Red Head. There’s really only one that’s well defined, and there’s even a kind of barrier between the 2 main groups: the ones involving the cascade region of Green Stream, and then the ones surrounding Grand Pool (A Grand Pool?). Something is going to happen in the future at Red Head. I can’t C it yet; still Neptune to me.

Also, there’s been no further progress on the new Whitehead Crossing teepee, and I’m beginning to doubt if there ever will. I think it’s safe for me to visit the location this summer — walk the Contemplation Loop and so on.

I ambled from Red Head to Whitehead Crossing Mall Meadows again through the rhododendron, and discovered a somewhat easier way between the two. It’s not a path by any means, and the 2 areas are still effectively blocked off from each other. But I can make the transit myself with a small bit of effort. Yes, I must make a map soon (!). Hopefully I can kind of hang out at The Crossing this weekend — or (in checking the forecast just then) perhaps tomorrow. Get off work at 4?
