Spent the day about a mile from the trailhead as part of a WTA work party, and had a great time. The trail is a bit rocky or rooty in parts but not too bad. Managed to get to the trailhead in my minivan but we bottomed out a few times; it's six bumpy miles from the road to the trailhead. A bear went after one person's lunch but we convinced it to go away.

Did you say a bear got close enough to the work party to go after a volunteer's lunch?? Was it a cub?

Yes but it's okay, it was an ACL's lunch. And the bear didn't get it; it just left some drool on his backpack.
