I was surprised at the lack of mud that you sink into. Even saturated, the ground felt pretty solid. Initially I was fearful of riding into puddles, as I expected that soft muck below that slows you down and stops you in the muck. But that did not happen, could ride right through. But, that was nine years ago, has it gotten worse?
I don't have a handle on when the improvements in the trail occurred. 2013 may have been after it was improved. I can remember times WAY back when some sections could seem bottomless in the wet times.
