7:00 a.m. Trail run in Settlement Canyon with Tina and Rick. 9.15 miles. From Parking lot at reservoir and up left-hand fork past Camp Wapiti taking the left-hand fork trail up to Bear Trap pass and back down into upper Settlement Canyon well above the gate. Down the canyon road until Dark Trail and back up to the parking lot. Nice run. Amazingly only muddy in spots.
