3-day, 2-night hike of the Pine Ridge and Big Sur trails. Highs mid-50’s and lows around 30. Chance of rain less that 10% each day. Expecting steep slopes and lots of blowdown on the trail.. Biggest unknown is water level of my river crossings due to recent rains. I will have to remain flexible with my plans if I encounter impassable rivers.
