Alafia is holding up pretty well.  Rode out there today. I stayed off of Bridges, Rabbit Ears, and Frank's Corner.
 
North Creek is in good shape.  Some branches down, one bigger tree that is broken in half with the top hanging about head level across the trail.  Don't forget to duck.  :o   The first long downhill is a little soft and wet towards the bottom.  No standing water, but the sand is wet and loose.
 
Gatorback is also in good shape.  Only one really slick clay spot that I can recall.  The steps that were developing a hole at the bottom of the first one have been filled in.  I'm assuming it was slowfatguy and crew?
 
I probably should have stayed off of Moonscape, but I really wanted to ride it.  Mt. Killanewbee is slicker than snot.  The climb and the descent.  Hell, most of Moonscape is that way.  I did a lot of walking to try and avoid digging my tires into the clay. (It was mountain walking, not mountain biking out there).  On a positive note, the little drop I endo'd on last Sunday has been fixed.  And I like the feature put in at the end.  So thanks to slowfatguy and crew for that one.

Obviously you didn't need your packsaw on it today.  You and your brutish strength.  :D

I can only imagine how much it sucked to push those big rocks uphill.  Thanks for the hard work.  Your fixes should last for quite a while.

Kris is an animal. For a little skinny guy he sure isn't afraid to do some heavy lifting.
