The plan for Saturday is to clear the Twisted Knob Trail, this is above Liumchen FSR and is easily accessible with a KLR

Saturday looks like it might be OK weather too.

woooo.. big days on the trails, thanks to those who came out, you guys did a lot of work.

Saturday we got the Mattocks out and completed the Twisted Knob Trail. Nice little bit of trail in the dark forest.

Sunday we spent many hours on just plain old trail maintenance, even after all the work that has been going on this winter, I was really surprised at the additional windfall and water issues on so many of the lower trails.

We have got about 1/3rd of the work done to make the B route ride-able, so more work parties to follow. Dashboard needs its yearly cleanup and repair.

Stay tuned for whats going to be happening over the next couple of weeks, unfortunately its hard to reply to posts come Friday as we are already on our way to the area and we do have internet access but who wants to go on the net when your playing outdoors. so if you need answers try and ask them before Friday.

Upper Dashboard has 3 trees hindering but not stopping progress upward as we found out on Sunday. Scotty got the BMW up Twisted Knob after a bit of coaxing!
