Always like your trip reports, especially for the variety of photographs. That 3rd photo is so "blaze". Very creative, very cool.

Great shots, the ditch on NW basin trail remind me of past visits up there. I expect this area is going to get a lot busier if and when the new trail goes in (Proposed trail #2)
