| Water Crossing Notes: |
The only real crossing to worry about was the one next to the road at the beginning, but with some hopping around it is easy enough to get over without getting wet. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail had some minor stuff that could be sawed but I didn't have one with me. Nothing that really impeded the trail. Some larger rotten trees that fell across the trail that I don't remember but are easily stepped over. One section of 3 or 4 board bridges need to be reset as they got floated out of position and are now leaning quite a bit. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
The ridge trail might be a bit intense at the beginning on some parts unless your dog is sure footed. |

A couple bugs at the trail head but nothing afterwards |

| Comments: |
Trail was in pretty good shape, some running water and mud sections that were avoidable. Nice brisk start in the morning and warmed up quite nicely by the end of the day. Not sure when it was done but a new platform is on top of Wildcat E. Doesn't look like it has been there to long as all the lumber looks fresh. |
