All crossings were fairly easy hops at current water levels. Some rocks damp. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
All trails in great shape overall. The Link had a few minor muddy areas, was brushy in a few spots, and had some recently axed blowdowns. Randolph is getting some love from the RMC trail crew, as some waterbar work was going on today, between Pentadoi and where Short Line diverges (nearing Airline). I thanked them all for their work. |

Fairly unrelenting overall, especially down low on The Link and Randolph Path, but even somewhat bothersome above treeline. |

 | Comments: |
With the weather holding for today, I decided to grin and bear it, and got in some after work, sleep deprived hiking. Really enjoyed the trip up through Castle Ravine, it had been a long time, and the gradual descent on Randolph. Saw a couple hikers at the start, then no one until near the Randolph junction with Castle Ravine. On the way down, I only saw the trail crew. A fun time getting out on the lesser used trails today, sweating up a storm in the heat. |
