[ft-l] Bradwell Bay

Linda, sounds like you have had great experiences with Bradwell Bay.  For Jon
Phipps, it was the opposite in January of 1997.  He hiked through there in
water sometimes nearly to his waist, camped on a high piece barely big enough
to put up his tent, and was wet and nearly hypothermic in 30 degree
temperatures.  He said it kept running through his mind that a few years back
some solidiers in Ranger training died of exposure in that area.   

So, Solar Bear, guess the advice would be to check out trail conditions and
weather reports before you go!
