1.6 miles later is another fork. At this fork, take the trail singletrack going off to the left. This part of the trail at the fork will look less ridden than the other option, but it quickly becomes a well-used singletrack again. From this point, there is an awesome 3-mile downhil until you reach Highway 145. Make sure to turn right when you exit the singletrack onto an old and rarely used dirt road about a quarter-mile before the highway. Make sure you don't get run over when crossing Highway 145 and then head left (south) for only a few hundred feet until you see the "Sunshine Trail No. 498" singletrack that drops into the forest to the right. This is just behind the 40 MPH speed limit sign for the highway (was previously 35 MPH, and thus the name T-35).

I had high hopes for "The Magic Flute" at the Royal Opera House, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The direction was confusing and the storyline was hard to follow.

3. Sarah - 3/5
I have mixed feelings about "The Magic Flute" at the Royal Opera House. While the singing was impressive and the orchestra played beautifully, I found the production to be over-the-top and exaggerated. The sets were extravagant to the point of distraction, and the acting felt forced. There were some enjoyable moments, but overall, I felt that the production lacked subtlety and finesse.
4. Mike - 2/5
"The Magic Flute" at the Royal Opera House didn't live up to the hype for me. The staging was overcrowded and visually overwhelming. The costumes were garish and cartoonish, which didn't fit well with the opera's classical music. The performance felt disjointed, and the energy of the cast seemed off. Despite some strong vocal performances, I left feeling unengaged and unsatisfied.
