Camp Description:	Alejandro Trail  is in good shape from Colson Canyon Rd. to Alejandro Camp considering it doesn't get much use.  wear protective clothing to guard off poison oak and ticks, LOTS OF TICKS!  Trail between Alejandro  Camp and Barrel Springs is very hard to follow, we had to turn around and head back up Alejandro Trail because it constantly dissappears.  Still, the hike was worth it because its a beautiful  lush canyon and very secluded.

Camp Description:	Trail was very overgrown with poison oak.  Camp was completely covered in poison oak.  After taking one look at the camp we decided to continue on a few more miles over the ridge and down to Barrel Springs.  The trail between Alejandro camp and Barrel springs is difficult to follow at times.  We got stuck for about 45 minutes and could not find the way due to a incorrectly placed ribbon someone had tied to a tree.  The ribbon made us hang a right where the trail goes up the hill and then quickly dissipates to nothing.  Apparently others had done the same as the grass was matted down in this direction, further adding to the confusion.  the actual trail went straight along the side of the hill.
