Comments
A large wet slide reached the access trail for the Knob area. Estimate it was 24 hrs old. Debris contained trees to 25cm diameter. Mid track had extensive signs of scrubbing & gouging, but not to ground. Debris from 4-6 other wet slides to size 2 were observed from same NE aspect, but all had stopped in top 1/3 of track.
