Lost/Left at Trailhead: Gray dog cable
We tethered our dog to a tree using our plastic covered wire cable near the trailhead parking lot bathroom, and accidentally left it there. We live near Fremont, Seattle. If anyone finds it and is willing to return it, I’d greatly appreciate it! Please comment here to get in touch.

Trip Report:
We hiked to the bridge before the climb to Mackinaw Shelter. At 3:00 the campsite tucked away in the woods by the bridge was open, and the spots slightly earlier on the trail near the pit toilet were being occupied by a group camp. The hike to those spots/the bridge was actually about 5 miles not 4 like the trail description says. The trail rolled up and down but kept the elevation gain to a minimum, and was in good condition. Plenty of streams to get water from along the way, and one creek crossing by strategically-placed log pile, trekking poles were handy. Trailhead parking lot was quite full, but we didn’t see many people on trail.
