cant really comment on current conditions but i can tell you that back in late may parts of that section were shockingly muddy. i would guess the same could be true now.

+1 on this. The reroute into Pearisburg was so muddy and slippery when I was walking it I said forget this and came home. As always I should have stayed however.

that was probably the muddiest but is a sort of short section.

the whole area from the road crossing that trent's is on until around wapiti shelter was a mess for 5 or 6 miles. utterly miserable hike.

I left my car at the NRA for 21 days once and 22 days another time---but I went south into the Crest Zone. Pretty safe to leave your car.
