|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail is clear and obvious entire way. The first 1/3 of the 1 mile re-route is quite muddy; enough to interrupt your pace. Can't imagine what it looks like after a good rain. The second 2/3 of the reroute is muddy but easily managed. Looks like work on reroute is being done top to bottom. Forest Service has a sign saying they are monitoring the new trail. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
No water till 2 mile mark, then plenty.. Saw 1 dog and many humans. |
|
 | Bugs: |
A few around the muddy area. No deet, no bites. |

 | Comments: |
Great day out. Lots of smiling faces on the trail.
Tis the time of year when the birds in the woods are eating, not singing, preparing for their trip south - quiet for the most part~ |
