Entering Pt Mugu State Park from Ranch Sierra Vista/Satwiwa from the north, there are signs warning that you can't get to the coast, and that there is no water.	On the Sin Nombre Trail, a large patch of shooting stars (hard to see in this photo) was next to the trail.	Sin Nombre: There were a number of cuts coming from uphill that crossed the trail
Sin Nombre: Looking downhill from the spot of the previous photo, the rut cut across the hillside continues, but the trail is mostly unaffected.	Sin Nombre: This larger flow left some debris on the trail	Sin Nombre: A pretty view of Sycamore Canyon this morning!

Between the bottom of Sin Nombre and Two Foxes, a culvert has been uncovered	Little mud flows cross the trail leave small ridges	A large mud flow leaves dirt on the start of Two Foxes.
This large mudflow next to Two Foxes didn't affect the trail	A small stream has cut across Two Foxes Trail here	Sycamore Canyon Fireroad has been bulldozed a little below the level of the surrounding ground
Most of Sycamore Canyon Fireroad is broad, smooth and flat	Sycamore Canyon Fireroad is closed where Overlook Fireroad comes into it. You can't get to the campground and the PCH	The bottom of Overlook
The bottom of Wood Canyon Vista Trail, a segment of the Backbone Trail	Water running down the Wood Cayon Vista Trail (WCVT) has left it rocky like this over long stretches.	Trailwork has smoothed the surface of the WCVT in a few places like this one
This drainage knick, built to divert water off the trail, is completely filled with debris, making it hard to even see.	Another drainage knick, this one not quite obliterated by debris	Mud and water running across the WCVT have left ridges on it.
