The parking lot was empty on Saturday morning, because the restrictions on the road and on recreation weren’t officially lifted until 10 a.m. Most people didn’t learn of the restriction removal until the end of the day on Friday. This doesn’t really make it easy for people to plan for the weekend, but the Park is in charge, and we are not.
It was so nice to see Timber Gap again.
This cabin might actually be repaired before winter.
The wood was a regular sight; many trees were dropped and bucked up along the road, due to a contracted tree removal crew.
It felt good to swing an ax; we burned quite a bit of wood because it was chilly in the evenings and the mornings.
Here’s another sign of neglect. Literally.
Ranger Mary was lonely at the Ranger station. Backcountry permits are set up on the porch for self-registration now.
Tomorrow: two gentle walks.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Disney parking lot empty like this!
Poor cabin–do you think it will get dried in before the winter? Is that wood available to take??
Nice job chopping firewood!
Neglect. There’s a lot of it up there, especially this year.
Poor Mary! But what beautiful weather to sit and enjoy!
