Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
Yet another invasive from Twin Lakes, near the parking lot across from the general store, lodges and shops, and thus a prime area for all manner of invasive species coming in on tires, treads, and pets, among others. Luckily, and again, not seen commonly (or almost anywhere else) on the Pass.
