Comment
We're doing our best not to think about the insanity of the ongoing CoVID-19 lockdowns, and putting our trust in St Joseph, who perfectly protected the Holy Family in their escape to, and return from, Egypt. He is, after all, the patron of this hike.
Another re-route, this time into Crystal Springs. Reading between the lines, it seems some idiots damaged private property (fences) along the Trail so either the landowners have had enough, or it's closed for maintenance… I'm unsure.
