TRAILS -- It's still squishy out there in many places for hiking and biking, although what I saw of the scablands this weekend, including the BLM Twin Lakes area west of Harrington, but quite hikeable if you're open to a lot of detours around temporary wetlands.

Impacts of our record winter for precipitation continue to linger. The Fish Lake Trail had a surprising amount of "flowing water" on Saturday, documented in the photo above by Tanner Grant.

 Be patient.
