Anyone on the trail around St. Charles this weekend? I was just wondering how wet/muddy the trail is between Machens and Weldon Spring.

On another post, I read that at least on person was talking about the trail from St.Charles to Machens. I thought the trail didn't exist there yet. Is it there, and just not being publicized yet? Anyone know for sure?
