This trail is built to handle large numbers of people.

This trail is one of the most damaged I've ever hiked. People have put fallen
logs over the muddy spots (a lot of the trail) but the logs are very slippery
so people walk around them - widening the trail.

This trail is one of the most damaged I've ever hiked. The soil over the
rock is thin and easily washes away once the vegetation has be trampled. Anything vertical
(that used to be covered with tree roots) is now exposed (slipery) rock.

You can see how these move - they drag their shell's behind them.
I believe this is a Mudflat Snail - Batillaria Attramentaria.

This is a small field close to Duck Creek.  I liked the foggy day.

Another one of my favorite shots.  We have finished lunch and are coming back looking at the bit of a climb we have left.

A sign said the catus grows by the inch and dies by the foot. It was pretty common but if was close to the path it looked pretty ratty.

This section of the trail is through a protected area - it a wonderful walk.

This part of the trail was flooded with about 9 inches of water and there was no way around it.
