Comments
Comments: Ascended Castle Ravine Trail - generally dry with occasional mud and a few slippery rocks in the woods. Looped around Gulfside, then up Jefferson from south - very, very crowded at summit.


Descended Six Husbands Trail to Edmands Col Cutoff - first part of latter was nice, but footing was junk.


Israel Ridge was a nice enough trail with some nice views along the way. Generally dry.
