Magnolia Primitive Camp

Testimony From Hell
This note in the Magnolia Primitive Camp logbook had me laughing. It says, "For the love of baby Jesus, douse yourself with DEET. Chiggers are bad here, especially on the logs. Have fun!" (Photo by Blaze)
Good Signage
The trail is straight, so not a lot of signs needed. However, I did not see several mile markers and the trail blazes on the trees were often hard to see due to the thick vegetation. (Photo by Blaze)
Obstacles
Some fallen trees completely blocked the trail, making passage a little challenging. (Photo by Blaze)
River Crossing
Crossing the East Fork of the San Jacinto River proved to be very easy, but I went during a time of drought. This river can flood over these banks making the crossing dangerous during wet season. (Photo by Blaze)
Trail Overgrown
The trail in the basin near the San Jacinto River has been washed out and overgrown in some areas. It can get muddy in this area. (Photo by Blaze)
