Hiked down to the first reliable (some flow most of time) stream crossing. This is usually a very lush spot along the trail, so if you want a quick hike from Ramsey Vista to a pleasant destination, this works. The main more open basin where Comfort Springs is located is a short distance beyond, but as soon as you start up the small divide from here, you will encounter a rather dense area of poison ivy which is boldly encroaching the trail.

For my hike today, with issues I have been having with leg strength and balance, I turned around rather than risk a face plant in that crap.

I have also been having some hip pain issues of late, so I wanted to get a little walking in to see how things felt. There was only a slight trickle in the creek, but I was not surprised given our less than stellar rainy season.

I did this short saunter without trekking poles, since I wanted give myself a true unaided test.
