The previous rain kept the dust down and we just had a couple of small puddles to skirt near Muddy Meadow, after which it was mainly mud-free sailing.

Based on weather we pushed our trip back by a day starting on Sunday, returning on Tuesday.   The previous rain kept the dust down and we just had a couple of small puddles to skirt near Muddy Meadow, after which it was mainly mud-free sailing.
