Cut out a couple of blowdowns on Willey Range, but a few remain. Brushed in a few damaging herd path bypasses. Unmitigated erosion throughout, getting worse by the year (including stone staircases starting to collapse from erosion/herd paths around). Many waterbars are full of junk and not functioning. |

 | Comments: |
Trails were quite mucky today. Plenty of muck, puddles, and running water. It's a shame how these trails continue to erode.
Mostly sunny day with temperatures reaching the 70s. Trails were fairly quiet in the morning, but plenty of folks out later thereafter. |
