Tubal Cain to Buckhorn Lake, Sequim

weather permitting
DUE TO CLOUDY WEATHER AT MT TOWNSEND AND SURROUNDING AREA, I AM CHANGING THIS HIKE TO BUCKHORN LAKE.
The carpool location will remain at John Wayne Marina at 7am with a hike start time of 9am. After driving up Palo Alto Rd, the forest service road is narrow and full of ruts and pot-holes.
Please indicate if you plan to carpool or meet at the trailhead.
This hike is 12 miles round-trip and 2,000 feet of elevation gain/loss.
We start at the Tubal Cain trail parking lot. This trail is very well maintained and climbs fairly gently for 5.7 miles until the junction for Buckhorn Lake. The side trail undulates up and down to the little lake. We rest and snack here, then return the same way. Bring bug spray.
National Park pass needed in the windshield. The last vault toilet is at the Upper Dungeness parking lot about 2 miles before the Tubal Cain lot.
I will attempt to reschedule Mt Townsend in better weather.
