This may already be known to all the trail maintainers, but I'll add my
observations just in case:
May 13 - Little Bear Springs to Holcomb Crossing - lots of trees across
trail, some to 24", with (sometimes unsightly) walkarounds
Holcomb Crossing to Splinters was clean. Llamas had been
hard at work.
May 14 - Heart Bar CRT trail to E Fork Mission Creek - several trees
across trail, including one around 30" that would be blocking to stock,
as it's on a steep hillside. It's located about an hour east/south/down
from Mission Creek Trail Camp. Other trees down in the forested part
of this stretch have walkarounds.
May 15 - Poligue Canyon Road 2N09 (misidentified as Holcomb Valley Rd in
guide) to Little Bear Springs - lots of trees across trail, some to 36",
but all with walkarounds.
What a difference a day made. Dehydration on Saturday, Hypothermia on
Sunday.
With luck I'll be able to return in June or July and finish the last 36
miles of section C and the last 36 miles of California - all made possible
by Shepherd with a critical car shuttle to facilitate Mission Creek
one-way downhill.
