[QUOTE="BrianLCrabtree, post: 1187692, member: 97738"] Here’s an anecdote about my “work in progress” comment. On my stage from Llano to Olea, I was on the dirt road that goes up into the forest after Retortilla. The route took me through snarled, brambly underbrush, definitely some bushwhacking. I thought, this can’t be it or it has been rerouted (maybe it has been but that’s where two nav apps showed it) I arrived at a barbed wire fence, no gate, but sure enough and right in front of me, a yellow arrow was on the fence post. I looked around for a gate but eventually took off my pack, lied down and scooted under the bottom wire strand. Then I was walking through a mountaintop grazing area with no obvious trail other than cattle tracks but infrequent, seemingly random rocks on the ground with arrows. Nav app aside, the trail marking should be more obvious. I descended to the railroad and Cervatos but by the time I got over the climb to Olea, I had gone through three fences without gates, one of which was electrified. I’m not looking for a Frances experience, but that level of trail condition is not reasonable, once again emphasizing my singular viewpoint with no generalization to others. [/QUOTE]
