The register is up for the season, 3 parties so far including me.  In the other people's comment spaces they left blank I wrote "Fix the Road" and below that "Yeah!", that ought to get some results.  In my comments I wrote they should have a calendar so I know what date to write.

I got to the third big creek before turning around, about 3 miles in.  Further than last time, didn't hit snow.  The low snow has been steadily melting away, the higher stuff still hanging in there.  Counted fifteen creeks I crossed, drank out of most of them. Trail in good shape despite no maintenance yet this year.  

This is one fine trail!  Don't let the short climb at the start discourage you, mostly easy ups and downs.  No brush or blowdowns in the 2ish miles I did each way today.  Turned around at creek crossing and snow at less than 2000". 
Total trip 2 hours, running some on the way out.

Awesome Old Growth, trail dips into lots of gullies, many with small streams.  No other visitors today, register gone for the winter.  Do some of this one and other fine trails that start near here.  I parked at the Green Mountain - Old Trail and walked across Downey Creek bridge to this one.  Also Suiattle River road still has snow before the end, slightly after this trail.  Probably OK for high clearance.

Well we left it better than we found it; Downey Creek trail.  There were 7 of us on day one and 8 on day 2.  Most were experienced WTA or PCTA trail workers along with a few other volunteers; but all had some previous logout experience.  Mike T. says he has kind of "adopted this trail", as he has put many hours into clearing it of brush and downed trees.  On this trip he figured we did significant work by clearing 12 blocking trees over the two day period.  On the first day 4 of us worked clearing a mess about 3.7 miles in, while 3 others went about a mile beyond before finding fallen trees.  On the second day 5 of us cleared at about 5 miles in while 3 others went beyond about a half mile to find work.  All of us had hiked back to camp at the Downey creek trailhead on the first day, after stashing tools.  So the second days trip was a much longer hike (10 or 11 miles roundtrip) without the added tool burden going in.  The trail is now easier to traverse to about a mile before reaching Sixmile Camp.  There are still a few trees down that will require significant time to remove but all are easy to negotiate around.

Notes about trails:
    - Trail head to Cascade Pass - nice popular trail;
    - Cache Glacier - easy
    - Middle Cascade Glacier - easy one
    - Spider Formidable Col (Franche ?) - super scenic point
    - La Conte Glacier - maze of creases, wet ice, scary bridges;
    - South Cascade Glacier - flat and easy
    - Decent from Lizard pass to White Lakes - steep loose rocks
    - Dana Glacier - relatively easy, mix of snow and rocks;
    - Cub Lake to Bachelor creek - unexpected hill at the end ;)
    - Bachelor Creek - 2.5 miles of old unsupported, overgrown trail, really hard to follow, very slow;
    - Downey Creek - 6.5 miles of good runnable trail with some fallen trees;
