Comments:  I had a very pleasant bus ride in as the only passenger, and the bus driver was quite knowledgable about the local flora. I fought off the misquitos of Agnews Meadow with a liberal application of insect repellent and got off to a good start. Soon I came to this overlook which shows the terrain I would be traversing shortly. Too good a view to pass up.
