2017 Modoc Trail Conditions

[Angela]

Several trees down on the trail, primarily in the first couple of miles.

Trail was in very good shape Thursday night (1/12). Only tree that needs cutting is near the 4 mile post. Thanks to Banks and John P for cutting trees last weekend. We rode the loop to ensure the back door and FS roads were clear, which they are.

Trail in good shape today. I can tell there has been a fair amount of traffic. Non riders at 1.1, 3.5, and 3.9 miles. Some areas look like a roto-tiller has been through, I presume damage is from wild hogs.

We got out on Modoc with ranger dog (Morry) today and did some cutting. Based on our ride last Sunday, we knew there were non-riders around a mile in from each end so we did short hikes on each end to take care of them. Hoping nothing came down in the middle during the week! Ran into Mark Hanna while he was enjoying a glorious day on a solo epic ride. He needs a bell because he scared me half to death. ;o)

Thanks for the trail work

[Angela]

Thanks so much for getting that done! Glad Morry was available to supervise the work.

Yes, thank you Lamberts. Unfortunately, last week storms brought down a fresh batch of trees across the trail. They are all within the first 4 miles. One super-size oak at about 3.7 mile.

Banks, Pilcher, and I cleaned Modoc tonight. Burned a whole tank of gas on 3 cuts on the big tree; JP said it was a hickory?

[beckyl]

Thanks for all your work fellas!

Handful of trees down between 1.0 and about 2.1 miles, rest of trail is clear. A couple new riders are down.

Trail is a big ol' mess right now.
