    		Trail is running great. Starting to get dry and sandy in spots as expected, but overall in excellent condition and lots of fun.

    		Some wet patches on the double track climb, but mostly good tread conditions. Trail junction with home run is hard to find due to blowdown, and trail from that point to top is brushy. Many downed trees on downhill singletrack, starting at the intersection with TCF2. Most are too big for a handsaw, but can be climbed over or walked around with reasonable effort.
