Brushy Mountain & Porter Creek Log Bridge
Nice blue-sky cool day for solo OAB to finally bag Brushy Mtn summit after passing up several times to LeConte. Surprise was a view, un like Silers Bald. Don't do this route if rain in past week. Added segment of Porters Creek trail to make sure bridge still intact for next months trip.
