Surveyed the Phelps section and FSR 2014. Trail overall is in good shape and pleasant hiking. Notes: - Both the west half of Phelps and FSR 2014 are tree- free. - All signs are good. - There are ~8 small trees across the trail in the East half of Phelps. These can be removed with hand saws. - There are two trees, including a crown blocking the trail, that need a small (14") chainsaw to clear. - Bridge approach is partially washed out, Is still serviceable. - 2 puncheons in good shape. - 1 puncheon has partially washed out approach. - A couple of ladder root sections, trail could use nudging. - 1 large trampoline, trail could use nudging. - Campsite in good shape. Tent pad could use new perimeter boards and fill to raise it a couple of inches. There are 4-5 small dead standing pines, they are not a threat tot he campsite.
