Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: The main crossing, just before the trail junction, wasn't too bad. Where the trail comes to the crossing, there are several boulders well above the water, for careful rock-hopping (one a long reach - poles certainly help us old folk). Approaching those boulders is a dead log firmly in place and useful. The second crossing is hardly that. It's mainly a minor stream flowing between a lot of rocks of various size, and mostly a walk-across. 
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Trails are in decent shape. There are some patches of mud in low places, with a lot of trail creep going around them. Much of the mud has firmed up a lot, allowing one to walk across those patches without sinking in much at all. There are a couple of step-over trees that are blow-downs or fell down due to root rot. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Saw one, well-behaved, and on leash. 
Bugs
Bugs: There were some, but the DEET applied at the start kept them mostly off me. It wasn't really a buggy hike at all.

Comments
Comments: Nice hike, with weather up top much better than NOAA's "mostly obscured" prediction for those over 4k ft. Nice long views all around.
