Yesterday, Banks, PF, and DK mapped the locations of over 20 trees down on Keg Creek and Mistletoe trails.
Today, JP3, PF, Banks, JT, and DK cleared 14 trees off of Keg Creek and will get the remaining two next weekend. We also have top people making plans to clear Mistletoe before the March 8th Explore the Trail Ride.
Thank you for your support.

FYI: We just received word from the US Army Corps of Engineers that a short, but necessary, section of Keg Creek Trail (ccw from the trailhead to past the first bridge) is located within the easement for bridge construction, road, and mitigation work. So, technically, that short section of trail is closed until bridge construction is complete in December 2016.
I don't know if this section of trail will be blocked off by the Corps, but don't be surprised if the trail is impassible with construction debris. We will be working with the Corps and construction contractors to ensure that the trail is fully restored upon completion of the bridge/road construction project.
Thank you for your support.

Keg tread is in great shape, about 5 trees down from the point to bed rock crossing (where I turned around) The first real creek crossing going clockwise was deep with signs of very high water. As it was the creeks were flowing and was the reason why I turned around at bedrock creek (looked slick)
Hope folks will keep riding Keg as an out and back for the next year. Was so quiet out there with no car or boat noise.

Trail was in great shape last night. We turned around at the top of the hill past Keg creek (big drop-in). Someone has cut trees, a few favorite riders gone, and started to cut Banks' tagged tree but stopped... There is still a non-rider near the 21.5 mile mark and another Banks-type tree near 20.5, I think. Creeks are very dry. At Keg creek, the down lane has gotten steeper the last foot and the bank at the up lane is washed out so is much tougher.

Trail is wet. Apparently, an Adventure Race has participants riding the Keg Creek loop in both directions. We saw lots of racers short-cutting blazed sections of trail, riding around muddy spots, and riding around downed trees. Lots of trees down. Most are down in the first few miles cw, then scattered here and there along the rest of the trail. A section of trail, along the creek bank is eroded and one bridge, just before the big creek drop-in, is washed out (see pic below).
