happy to report that the orting foothills trail came out much better from the flooding than i'd anticipated- the trail is in very good condition all the way from meeker(puyallup) to approx 3-1/2 miles south of orting (past "the animal farm" hill)just a few hundred feet beyond the junction with the South Prarie-Carbon River road. the trail is blockaded at the bridge-no idea if there's damage to it or a closure from debris and muck over the trail.
