Last month I replaced the summit jar because it kept collecting water, and I took home the paperwork to try to dry it out. I had some luck, while much of it is crinkly and often illegible, several pages and an entry as far back as 2015 survived.
Trail was mostly dry with some small sections of mud. There are patches of grass in places that have just sprouted up to 6 or 8 inches, so the trail appears slightly more brushy than last month. This is not thick grass, it's patchy, and more feet on it will likely take care of it.
I again noted a couple weird trail barracades that someone had been pretty deliberate about putting in place. Maybe to keep 4 wheelers off, maybe they're supposed to be water bars. |
