It was a cool misty morning at 6am when I left the trailhead. Almost perfect climbing weather. There was a little drizzle that the forest kept from me until I got to the first Road to Trail conversion. Then the drizzle was gone but the foliage was wet when you brushed it. Visibility was a 1/4 to 1/2 mile most of the time. The dampness helped make the dirt hero. There is one dead head on the trail to clear but you can squeeze by it for now. It is halfway up to the road to trail conversion. GPS track and pics are here.
