This was supposed to be a very brief outing to test some recent footwear updates, but we got carried away, and zigged around for almost seven miles. First time I have been here. This trail system is reminiscent of an ikea floor plan, but fortunately much less peopled on Sundays in February, and with much better signage.
The leaves are starting to come out on deciduous huckleberries, and there are a lot of them, here. What I think is Oemleria cerasiformis (Indian-plum, Osoberry) is leaving out on southern slopes, and we even saw one flower. The sun peaked out occasionally, and not a drop of rain, but it still looks very much like winter.
There were a few very small blow-downs, but not worrisome enough to check as a 'problem'.
