Rode the trail yesterday the 6 of May and everything is super dry. No standing water anywhere. One thing to watch out for is the raft is skimming the bottom of the creek, so if you get mroe then 2 people on, you won't be going anywhere. The water in the creek is also very clear for some reason.

The steps to the raft can also be very slippery. Yesterday I was being a wise crack and yelling at some of my ridign buddies that if they didn't watch it, they were going to end up in the mud (creek). well, I puled the raft back over to my side (35w side) and proceeded to walk down the stairs and before I knew it, I was on my head on the stairs, nothig to major, 2 major black and blue marks on my back (from the stairs) swelled elbow and a very sore and stiff neck.

I was also there last night. People were having so much trouble with the raft that i found it faster just to pick up my bike and wade across. Both shoes got soaked, but the water barely came up past my ankles. Much nicer than 10 minutes of grunting just to pull the raft 20 feet.
