| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
A few trees and downed utility wires on the Base Road, a crew was working on it. Mt. Clinton rd. was barely passable to the TH, many downed trees to squeeze around or drive over, a couple trees leaning over the road, an eroded culvert(I think) that was taped off and a short section of running water across the road. |

| Water Crossing Notes: |
Second bridge isn't crossing anything, idk if it moved or the channel moved. The whole area looked pretty washed out. Crossing was a single easy step. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The cruel judgement of a wrathful God. Frequent blowdowns nearly the whole way, some easy some less easy. About 2 miles up was the worst bunch yet, and after climbing over and through for maybe 30 or 40 feet found myself no closer to getting out of it. It was right around sunset and I had no interest in tackling these things in the dark, so I bailed. There was another car in the lot and some tracks before me so I assume someone did make it through this mess. I hiked Madison and Adams earlier in the day using the same trails as Bruce, and Edmands is 10x worse. |
