washouts at mile miles 4, 4 1/2 and 8. a wta trail crew was out blazing a re-route around the washout at mile 4. thanks again! the other two were somewhat easily circumvented by bushwhacking above the washout. for mountain bikers and horse riders there are down trees along the trail that make for not so smooth riding and eventually(beyond the first washouts) will probably encourage you to turn around. hikers(and runners) however can manage most of the blowdowns with ease. the big bridge at approx. mile 9, just before harps shelter, is still out of commision. i was able to wade across at the horse ford just below(water was low and only knee deep at the most). overall the trail was beautiful and a joy to run. i have to warn that the elevation gain for the whole length of the trail and back to the trail head is about 3000ft which is not mentioned in the wta trail review. however these are all small climbs none of which are of any difficulty on their own.
