Flapjack Lakes via North Fork Skokomish River — Thursday, Apr. 24, 2025

You will hit dangerous deep slushy snow about 3 tenths  of a mile from flapjacks lakes.  It is  stacked up in the right ravine of Donahue creek and is getting ready to do a creek snow bridge collapse. See. photo.   I would wait 2 more weeks to have it   melted out before crossing.  There are 4 or 5 patches of snow covering the trail Starting at Donahue falls area of the trail that are not difficult or dangerous to cross      The slide area before turning  up to Donahue falls.  Has become more dangerous than previous years in the first 10 feet.  see photo   Take your time use trekking poles for balance.    The trail after Madeline falls is burly. It is full of root wads and rocks.   The make shift log ford over the first creek on north fork trail.   Is stable.   The old foot bridge is gone.  Road into parking A lot  of Potholes start after The mount rose trailhead on the gravel road in
