Hello everyone,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yesterday another hiker informed me of some branches/deadfall across the Pino Trail below the spring.</div><div dir="auto">I already had my 20&quot; saw with me so I headed on up there and located the mess, about 3.25 or so miles from the trailhead. </div><div dir="auto">It was pretty easy to cut and toss, and when I was finished I realized I was at the &quot;butterfly corner&quot; where in two consecutive Aprils, I had seen quite a variety of butterflies hanging onto one specific tree. This first photo seemed to be the &quot;originating location.&quot; The last photo shows the runoff that was pooling at the hairpin.                                                                                                                On my way back to the Elena Gallegos parking lot, I saw a lot of water in the arroyo not very far into the forest. It was really beautiful to see.</div><div dir="auto">Sadly, at about the 2.5 mile point going up, I did not find the orange braided nylon rope I covered and hid a couple of weeks ago when I was working on another tangled mess at a hairpin. I guess someone barely saw it, uncovered and took it. Maybe one day they will return it to me?</div><div dir="auto"><div><img src="cid:183ee1ab12ff9fd7ae51" style="max-width: 100%;"></div><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><img src="cid:183ee1c26f3c52b32ea2" style="max-width: 100%;"></div><div><img src="cid:183ee1cdca95a7f7cec3" style="max-width: 100%;"></div><div><img src="cid:183ee1dbe624f4ea2ed4" style="max-width: 100%;"></div><br></div><div dir="auto">Bill Kearns </div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Sent from Gmail Mobile</div>
