We started at 9 mile and hiked most of the way to mavaric saddle. About 100 blowdowns from 9 mile to youngs creek have been freshly cleared, leaving 4 or 5 big ones. From youngs creek to cougar creek is cleared just enough to duck through, but it is now walkable with about 100 blowdowns. Trail tward maveric saddle from cougar creek gets progressively better as you leave the burn area. Two small washouts between the two bridges over the mad river, and water over trail in places. Lots of brush growing over trail throughout. Needs a work party.
