Trails for the most part are in good shape I cut a tree that was down about a mile into the trail we are having some issues with standing water in some low lyeing areas. Bear with us we are working on this problom we are using crush and run to fill in these areas but we are having probloms getting the crush and run into some of these areas. (note to self make the trail is wide enoufgh to get a four wheeler with a trailer in there you big dummy) hopefully we will get these probloms resolved by the siege on fort yargo race
may the 24th. We also are gonna put a small bridge in at the seceond small gully you come to after the switchback behind the dam that one is getting a litte to roufgh to ride through

Well , we have had 2 major down pours this past week. the rain was so bad that it washed debree in the trail in several locations
and damaged the trail in a couple of spots hopefuly we will be blowing off the trails in the next few days and doing some repair work. Their is a couple of places where riders are locking up their brakes and causing an erosion issue I'm not sure yet what were gonna do about it yet but somthing has to be done to eithr slow people down befour these spots of reroute the trail where this is not an issue. I will be de-rooting several locations also.

As far as trail conditions go for the most part as of Sat. trails were in good shape except for the privit section (where the arched bridge is) this section takes about a week to dry out (its Flat)

Me and my wife rode labor day I told my wife if the trails were wet from prior nights rain we would ride the roads but suprisely the trail was pretty dry. kinda figured it was when I pulled up and their were 30 people standing in the parking lot.

we rode last night trails were OK started raining on us about halfway thru. it was muddy in a couple of spots that we need to work on but other than that they were OK. I talked to the park ranger this morning after he rode he said everything was pretty dry.

(yes its nice to have a fellow mountain biker as the park ranger)
