Great 3-day trip up the Duckabush to Marmot lake. Trail was exceptional (thanks NFS crew) to ten-mile camp. Minor overgrowth to Upper Duckabush then the trail was more overgrown with a handful of blowdowns as you hike up to marmot lake. Next to zero bugs! The “ford” to Upper Duckabush is barely shin deep and you can rock hop across.
We grabbed a teva sandal that fell out of someone’s pack (found it near the Lacrosse intersection) and a lens cap for a canon camera so let me know if either are yours and you want it back!
