| Was up by Ruttenbur today (3/27), and I decided to ride a bit on the trail (point H). Surprisingly, it was rideable due to the ground still being frozen. Although the top layer was soggy, I didn't encounter any major mud holes. But that's not to say I emerged from the trail as clean as when I entered.

| Conditions were awesome today from Point R to Point V (thanks to the great weather). Ventured over the the singletrack, but it still needs time to dry out.

Why can't I find this mythical singletrack?
I've ridden and run the whole of the eastside overland trail, and I haven't seen hide nor hair of anything resembling singletrack. Help me! _________________ teamsisyphus.blogspot.com

There have been maps posted here and they are also on the Harris Hill facebook page, you will never find them all on your own without a map. _________________ Thick skin makes for short fences.

There isn't a map on this website that shows the trails. The FB page is more helpful. Maybe that map should be posted here? _________________ teamsisyphus.blogspot.com

Go to page 3 of this discussion, an older one is there. I will have a purty new google map as soon as I can get up there with the Gps sampling cranked up. Not sure where to find a map making expert with idle time. Basically head down the 1st gravel road you cross when starting at the south end. There is a also a singletrack connector at the top of the first climb that used to have a sign, but it was within drunk walking distance of the end p-lot so it got stolen. _________________ Thick skin makes for short fences.

If you want a GPS track, I am planning on riding there on Friday morning (early) so I can send you the gpx track from my 305 if you want it. _________________ teamsisyphus.blogspot.com
