Headed back out again on Sunday after the "Big Hype" to check out the trails. Lots more trees down, but I suspect it was from Friday after I left as Saturday's storm did not live up to the forecast.
Cleared the Midway again, then checked out the Riverview Footpath. Not too bad, only one blowdown, and some branches. On the way back I took the Midway Cutoff and cleared that also. Since I was on a roll, I checked out the Startup Footpath as well. Re-routed a section near the bottom, and cleared a blowdown at the top of the switchbacks.
So, all the footpaths are clear as of Sunday. Note that these are footpaths, not trails, and as such I leave a lot of step-overs and stoop-unders. A little more primitive than your average trail, but a lot more charm...
