OTHER COMMENTS (problems, views, terrain, etc.)

Borderland was full to capacity+++ at 12:30 (Meeting time was 12:45) The lot was full and folks were driving up and down the  rows looking for folks leaving, but more were coming in than leaving. (It was a ‘perfect storm’ of Patriots Day; School vacation; Beautiful weather.) If more folks were trying to come on our hike they gave up and left as they couldn’t park. L
