Harris Hill Trail Conditions

the trail has been cleared where the logging obstructions were blocking it near the harris hill parking lot. it is not buff single track but it is passable.

the r1 fork has also been cleared and recently brush hogged. it is a fun section worth investigation. it is not nearly as technical as the r fork.

v->t->bonus trails
trails are in good shape. there is mud in the ususal spots. the technical climbs were all in good shape. there are some new loops out in chronic town. the section from u->v is really worth a visit. chronic town even more so. email mushmouph(at)gmail(dot)com if you need a map of the new legal sections.

the trail is mostly dry to the fire road. what i rode of the ext was great.

by the way rode last night, no bugs, only a bit of mud, where mud usually/ always is, only obstacles are in the heavily logged area, between R and T, and this report is only good from V to R, haven't been up further for a few weeks.

on Friday, be out there about 830- 130 or I putter out. Sunday if still up in the air , but probably the same time frame

any idea what time you will be out?

Hey Mush, thanks for riding em, for the longest time it's just been me and a few that Torry from Hollyloft takes out. and you are right as far as small, but growing,
I currently have about 1.5 to 2 more miles flagged, and we shall say preliminarily blazed, I plan on going up there on Friday (and maybe sunday) to use my drag box, you might have seen it leaning up against one of the logs. the single log "bridge" still needs to be hacked flat on the top, and the thorn bushes are a constant threat.

also working on completing the loops in a way so it creates a better system of trails. using what was done with the logging 7-8 years ago, certainly made it easier,

you are right, about the only one you may see are a few white tail, the friendly neighborhood porcupine, or whomever you bring out with you.

if while riding, you come up with ideas of enhancing features or obstacles, let me know, I hope to make some interesting options, while keeping a close ride around for others.

i finally got my mtb back on the trail. the cardot is in great shape. start at 'v' and take a left on the fireroad. there are a few comfort carins. you will not be disappointed. the easy loop is at the end of the road. look for orange flags and ribbons in the trees. otherwise keep you eyes peeled for a single log bridge spanning the ditch. this will lead you into an emerging trail network that is on par with most any mtb destination in the usa. the scale is smaller of course but so are the crowds. i have yet to see anyone on these trails. drop a line for more info:mushmouph(at)gmail.com

trail is in great shape. logger j was clearing the last of the boutwell blow down. he had 3 trees to go when i passed through 5/22.

there is nothing going on with the drilling to interfere with the trail.


go out and get some.

my plan is to get out there by 8:30 or so, and will be there probably till 1-2. most times I can get a signal out there, 664-1393 if you want to call.

twright, do you have a guesstimate of time when you'll be out there Friday? If I'm not working, my wife wants to go for breakfast somewhere. Then after that, maybe I'll see what ya got goin on..

it's an endless battle till enough tree canopy develops to reduce their growth, however my golf swing is steadily improving with each pass of the sickle. I think they would drink up round up, like it's kool-aid. (and I am not talking about the Rev. jim jones kind)

feel free to battle them at will. with what ever mechanical, human powered means you care to try
