Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: No blowdowns, but it looks like another visit by the person who has been ripping rocks out of the footbed. This has left a few craters and only accelerates erosion. Please stop!

Comments
Comments: Loop was mostly dry, even after Tuesday's rain. Leaves are still mostly on the trees, but there are some areas of the trail with growing leaf cover.

Foliage was decent, but not as good as some other places in the region.

Beautiful fall afternoon with blue skies and temperatures in the 50s.
