Trail’s is good shape, however there are a couple of downed trees that one can easily duck under. I plan on cutting them out tomorrow, hopefully.

Well, I cleared Upper Bottoms to just before the corner with the bench. I did pick away at that mess a bit too, but just scratched the surface. The bridge just before the bench is smashed, and I couldn't tell if the bench made it or not. Lots of BIG trees down in that area. Some are sketchy for cutting. Might get a chance to try again before heading back to work, but can't promise anything.
