This was my first time on this trail and it proved a little more challenging than I expected. Mainly, there is a lot of water and mud in the center part of the hike. The trail at points is a flowing creek that at times was well above the ankles. The mud in spots was the shoe grapping type. Highly advised to carry camp shoes as you will get wet. The trail detour around the middle of the trail is a fork and it is not signed which way to go, so take the left fork and follow the pink ribbons and you will not have a problem. Another party, took the right fork and went awhile before realizing their mistake. On the way back, observe your landmarks as the fork is less distinquishable. The foot bridge at no name creek (8.5 miles) was out and their was a crew attempting to fix it. You can either ford the creek which was a challenge or take the old log which was tilted and mossy. Hopefully, the current log is repaired. No bugs at all.
