Need to lop a little more MM 94.5 to highway 270 and forest road 33 to MM 96. Will return on 11-16-24 to finish lopping, look for blow downs-there were several leaning trees and to see the condition of a sinkhole developing on FR 33 near the trailhead. Also the tread and waterwalls could use some attention.

Other smaller trees (2 to 4” diam) were spotted at approx. MM 120.2, 120.1, 119.9, 119.5, 119.4. Trail was in good shape except weeds were still intruding onto trail and, in some places, grass or weeds were growing on top of trail, hiding rocks underneath. Perhaps the vegetation will all die out in a week or two. I spotted MM 120 but did not see 121.
