    A buddy rode SJT yesterday. He had a pic of the trail near 4 Corners before where Viejo Tie comes back in. There was a patch of snow on the ground, but trail was clear. It's a little ways down from Blue Jay, I know, but could just be patchy in spots.

    A couple switchbacks from Main Divide on Trabuco:

    The more southern-facing aspects of the trail were dry. After the last turn through the drainage it was snowy with water running on the trail. There was some precip, falling slush.

    First off don't know if this is the right place to put this or not. So if not please move to correct area.

    Just want to say thanks to all the people that have done preventive trail maintenance. I got to ride Joplin and Motorway this week. I was so surprised by how great of shape both of these trails were in. A little bit rockier then before the rain but I'm sure that will take care of itself. No big new ruts or washed out area. Very nice! Thanks again!

    No snow on the backside of the peak. Clear all the from Maple Springs to the peak. I only went as far down as Upper Joplin, but no snow even in the shaded areas. The Motorway is also in good shape, no washouts. Looks like the work held up nicely.
