Went up past boulder flat past the corral, to my horror the once (just last month) well trimmed path was COMPLETELY block with catclaw! The snow curled all the catclaw in Ballantine canyon into the trail, I cut and hammered my way 2 more miles but again fell short of Rock Tank. This is large deadfall and the snow really stripped the tops of trees, snapping basically everything. It is passable though, but I got tired from sawing and ran out of daylight. I was heavily clawed with catclaw. Took my moms do George, he really enjoyed himself. Next time I will make it to Rock Tank!
