Comments
Comments: Trails were dry with only a bit of minor mud. All trails are showing more signs of erosion. The upper bit of Straightback Mountain Trail is getting a bit brushed in. Some decent views to be had from the ledges. Didn't see anyone else out there

Mostly cloudy and humid with pretty much no wind and temps in the 80s.
