Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Trails in great shape, and blazed nicely. One blow down, and another is a slight walk around. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Cooper had a blast, but was a little concerned with the cool carvings; funny. Some crossings with flowing water for drinking, and a space for a step into the pond. Some mud that pups may not go around. 
Bugs
Bugs: Move fast and do not stop. They were out and biting especially at the summits out of the wind (Skatutakee); Thumb was more exposed to wind through the trees, with slightly fewer bugs.

Comments
Comments: Took the loop in the clockwise direction. Carvings along the trail added interest. Nice pond and views. No one else on the trails with us.
