 | Comments: |
All trails are essentially bone dry, even the Oak Ridge Cutoff which always seems to be perpetually wet. The swampy area just below Shaw on the High Ridge Trail is completely dried up. Surprisingly, the little pond just below Roberts on the High Ridge is full of water. Almost no mud on any of the trails I used. |
