    Mud in one 40 foot section. Hero dirt after a little bit of rain this morning everywhere else. Going to be a muddy mess after all the rain on it’s way.

    Very overgrown, trail was hard to follow in spots, some nettles and other foliage are head height and closing in on the trail. Beginning was slightly hidden. Otherwise rocky and steep and very fun.
