 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All five on Rocky Branch were fairly easy rock hops (done carefully). |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails in decent shape, with a few blowdowns, easy step over/duck unders. I did run my head into a couple log ends projecting out into the trail on Isolation East, in the big blowdown area. One I moved more out of the way. Be careful on the uphills, when staring mostly at the trail. Given the lack of rain, much of the muddy areas on the flat part of Davis Path could be walked on. |

Saw a couple well behaved. |

None. |

 | Comments: |
Decent day, but somewhat humid for September. Saw a few groups of others, mainly on Isolation itself and on trails up high. One fellow up top had just finished his 48. Congratulations for him. |
