Status Reports

Getting my feet wet with this new bronco. This trail was fun, but there is a narrow spot where larger trucks will not fit. Creek crossing was easy. Rocky descent and ascent but nothing that a moderate clearance vehicle can’t handle. Minor obstacles are easily cleared if you pick the right line.

1 vehicle wide, few places to pass. Some spots with small branches grown over road, you will get pinstripes. No gravel, but large rock over entire length. Several small ledges. Could be nasty when wet, big hill on both ends of road, with creek crossing in bottom. Creek was 8-10" deep when we went through.

When you turn onto this trail off of Maple Grove Road it looks like a farm access road. It's very overgrown, rocky and rough. You cross a couple of creeks and have a rocky climb out.

Water level has gone down after floods. Very overgrown, a few paint scratches. Nice trail though with some scenic creek passes.
