 | Comments: |
Trails are in fine shape -- but the winter relos (three), plus the new view spur, executed when there was couple of feet of snow on the trail, need some deadfall removal now that the snow has melted out and the footbed is exposed. We'll attend to this next week.
Otherwise, trails are mostly clear of snow/ice, and anything that is on the trails now is easily avoidable or traversed -- perhaps 100 feet of spring snow, total, over the course of 1.5 miles on both trails. |
