There is any area that has been washed out. Someone tried to fix with logs. I was coming down from the bus, came across this area and the right side of the trail is nothing but loose gravel. My front tire hit this gravel area and I fell into the ravine. I think I rolled just once. Thank goodness for 4 point harness and great roll cage! I was able to get out without a scratch on me but machine is stuck there for now. So if I were you I probably would stay away from this area.
