Trail(head) Conditions

Okay, you guys are probably tired of the same old conditions posts but until I make some friends and actually get ON the trail, this is all I can offer you.

Well, here it is, again. Post storms and rain, there’s maybe a three-foot berm.

The county is doing alright, trying to do a straight plow to minimize piling snow at the entrance.

Here’s the rub and I don’t know how to get the county to change. as they plow, snow gets blown to the left side of the trail only, creating an offset challenge. Let’s call it a “gatekeeper”. Maybe notch a grove on the left side to prevent you from sliding into the ditch on the right.

With all the rain from the last warm storm, a couple of good freezing nights should create a doable trail.

Anyone up for the challenge?

Please go prepared, don’t go alone, let someone know when you’re going and have a means of communications.

A future post will look at communication options.
