Hey Eric,
I was up in WA in late August, but I hit Seiad Valley on August 4th, so it's
very likely that someone worked on that trail in the intervening weeks, as
it was really overgrown earlier. I know poison oak well, and the trail was
thick with it in places at that time. Clearing that trail would have been a
great thing to do for hikers who get the rash. But your hike through is
more recent, so it may not be a problem at all at this point. Nice to know.
I remember the miles of very steep uphill slopes to that trail and would not
have wanted to meet a snake at face level. That's just plain unnerving.
