Re: notice to hikersDaryl, Thanks for posting this current info. Very helpful. You know, in a way it's rather interesting that the first portion of the trail is in such poor shape. Supposedly the Forest Service had a "special" crew working on this trail last summer; their work was even covered in the local paper. Your up-to-date report kind of makes me wonder what the crew spent its time doing.
