Here To There	Jun 30, 2026 @ 2:46pm (America/Los_Angeles) 1 day	Got very wet from the bushes (not the rain/mist or trail - no puddles) but the REALLY needs a brushing - bushes almost touching each other from the sides - Rating: 2 reporter
Cheech and Chong's Wild Ride	Jun 30, 2026 @ 2:38pm (America/Los_Angeles) 1 day	Little bit of moisture we've had has been great - trail is great shape reporter
Pony Express	Jun 30, 2026 @ 2:37pm (America/Los_Angeles) 1 day	Marked as minor issue - the entrance from Bandito side could use a brushing, but otherwise the rest of the trail is in great shape reporter
