This map update corrects the map update of 5-26-2022. It moves the trail off-raod for a short section and as a result changes the location of Point 5 to 0.10 mi south of its former location. This mileage change is incorporated into the point description for Points 4, 5, and 6 below in the Log of Trail Change.
