Looks like more trail work will be required -

Despite valiant efforts, the trail seems to be losing the battle with the
elements in Q.    15 years ago I thought it was overgrown and underlogged -

But I had no idea then how bad it would be by last year.

The pleasant backpacking season between too much snow and too much smoke
seems to be getting shorter every year, throughout the high country of
California.

But maybe I can redo the stretch from Bucks Summit down to Belden
and up to Humbug Summit.     This area usually seems to be on fire by
now but so far seems to be passable this year.    If it can keep from 
combusting this weekend from dry lightning, it might be OK next weekend.
