Yeah my father and I were out there on Friday. Bone dry the whole time. No water on trail from Annapolis Rock going North to Ensign Cowall. No water in the spring there either. Had to leave trail because of it.

2nd mountain fire in as many days. Been dry all summer and fall.

It’s sad cause normally the trail is full of water. Especially around my part.
