Always the optimist

Yesterday I was thinking maybe Japanese Gulch might have had time to dry out a bit because I couldn't really remember any rain since the big storms on Tuesday. Silly me. I got there and the lower parts of the center trail that have been muddy still were. A lot more gravel there would help a lot, but I think another issue is that it's a flat area that everything above it drains to, and then there's nowhere for the water to go once it gets there.
