	We had about 0.6" yesterday and that is all for about 72 hours. Should be good Saturday morning take advantage of the cool temperature for July. Just mowed the field corridors again. All bridges are in place along with the skinny. My advice is to stick with the Wet Bypasses I put in. Please feel free to kick a stick or two off the trail.

When you go down the edge of the little field (small pond on the right and field on the left), there's a hard right turn at the very bottom. Vegetation has about obscured the sign until you're nearly past it. The last couple trips there, I've had to slow down and look for the turn. FWIW, after the right turn, the trail goes back to the left and crosses the 4 wheeler road. So when you went down the 4W road, you crossed the trail (could have turned left if you had seen it).

Yup that's exactly what happened I turned around and then found where the trail was supposed to head..

	Went there for the first time today and had tons of fun. I took all the wet bypasses just to be safe. Few small mud spots but nothing crazy. Despite the wetness I didn't find anything to be very slippery. I missed the same sign after Ole Chunky and Ended up doing the No Name Climb a second time so I could get back to the fire road Found it the second time, very easy to miss with all the foliage. Great job to everyone who's been working on this trail, it was great!

	Fixed. Cleared trees on the right before the turn to increase visibility of the right turn. I still need to put fresh paint on the arrow. Sorry for the misadventures.
