Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: LOTS of recent trail creep damage - folks pulling out logs/branches that were blocking herd paths around stone fixtures. The herd paths may be smoother now, but if you keep doing this, they will erode, the stone fixtures (steps, waterbars) will fail, and the whole area will be blown out. Please stop.

Comments
Comments: Trails were damp this afternoon following the morning's rain. No mud to speak of.

Not too much in way of fall foliage colors yet, but a few random trees turning.
