From Cow Spring Camp to Alder Creek Camp, there are several sections that are rutted and tread becomes very narrow. The ½ mile of trail east of Alder Camp is gone due to flooding. The route (along the west fork of Alder Creek) will be in the dry river bed until you reach the main fork of Alder Creek.

He needs all the help he can get. The enemy is almost supernaturally hardy: It resists poisons, can withstand extreme temperatures and can survive most efforts at cutting it to pieces.
