      		 Lots of water and mud in the lower areas. Creek was running strong.

      		 Creek under the tracks was completely dry. Trail is dustier than normal. Some areas are overgrown.

      		 Mostly dry and slightly overgrown. I would say now is not a bad time to do it before it gets hot! A few wet sections, most can be avoided.
