Bridge out before Silver Lake, made for interesting moments. Rain Tuesday thru Wednesday made the trail very muddy and almost dangerous in spots. Over-all good trail conditions however. Black Flies have begun eating dinner when we provide it but they are still tolerable and easy to deter. The dam at Duck Hole is in bad shape and in danger of collapsing.
All bridges are in good shape or have been replaced.
The new designs should last through many winters. Thanks to everyone. Gators, ponchos, and a good warm jacket for evening. Extra bags to help keep Lean-to's clean. All the people responsible for maintaining the trail are working very hard to keep conditions clean and safe.
