Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Parked at snomo lot on 302, with maybe 10 other cars. Spoke to a ranger who mentioned they will be opening Zealand Road soon, but there is a washout past the campgrounds so that will stay closed until it can be fixed. The ranger was putting no parking signs along one side of the road, but he indicated the other side could be used, once they get it opened up.

Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: One large blowdown near the top on Middle needs a big saw, but can be stepped over. Some of the sidehill trail on the west side of North is traveling downwards, could use some benching or rock work. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Didn't see any dogs, but other than muddy feet, they should be fine.

Bugs: Black flies are starting to swarm, ugh! Not biting yet, but thinking hard about it.
