We were hoping to do North and South twin but could not find a way to get across the Little River. Whatever bridges were there last Sunday for Jeb Bradley are now gone. We stayed east of the river all the way to the last crossing and spent an extra hour looking for options above and below to cross without significant risk of going in. It seems this weeks warm-up really took everything out and I hate to say it, but I think spring conditions are now and for us on this trail. The exception would be for using it to gain access to the fire warden's trail to go up hail. No issues in that regard . |
