Trail is in great shape, getting a decent amount of use. I didn't lose the trail once on Saturday's ride due to leaf cover!
All the creek crossings are wet.
1 or 2 downed trees on the back entrance singletrack, will need a saw.
4 spots of downed trees that are non-riders on the Rock Dam trail, all less than 2 miles (I think) from the back entrance going CCW.
2 decent size trees down on the double track off Ridge Rd. If those get cut, please leave some of the tree on the double track so we can ride them. The first one is an easy rider for me, about a foot in diameter. The one furthest down the hill is a rider 2 out of 3 times ;D It's bigger (not sure how big, but the top of it is a few inches above the wheel axle on my 29er), and it's slightly elevated above the tread, but there's a rideable line on the left, so cut it on the right. I know the park/COE may come through and cut them all completely off, but till they do...

The known downed trees (the ones listed above) are all gone now. We left a few riders. One we tried to leave a piece of it as a rider, but it was unstable, so we cut it all the way off. Here's the Rib Bruiser, as I call it. Looking up the hill.  After some chainsaw and trimming. Cleaned up the brush on the left for anyone who wants to ride the whole thing, and cut a notch for an easier line.  It's amazing the things you notice on foot. I've never noticed this tree before.  |

Anyone have a recent report on Mistletoe conditions? Thinking of attempting the Christmas Party Ride with Keg on Sunday afternoon.
Would also welcome a guide, as I've been on Mistletoe and Keg seperately but never connected them.

I did christmas party last weekend...if you don't like spiders, I'd suggest something else.

Ken Young said the trail was in good shape at the meeting on Weds.

Maybe I got rid of all the spider webs...with my face. Trail was in good condition but the spiderwebs on Kegg were terrible.

Thanks, love some spiders. The ones on Keg are especially tasty.

It's amazing the things you notice on foot. I've never noticed this tree before. I bet Brian W can guess the location of that tree within a few feet. And what time on Sunday? I know the route. Maybe able to do that. |

Plan to be rolling at 4:00, need to get back to the car by 7:00 to make other commitments. I'm assuming it's about a 2 1/2 hour ride.
Seenvic, it would be great if you could lead the way to mistletoe's back door.

Ken Young said the trail was in good shape at the meeting on Weds. It was OK at best. Alot of overgrowth all over. When you come in from Keg and go right in the loop, you start with 3-4 stops for trees not rideable. But that settles down after a while and it is just slightly overgrown, primitive Mistletoe at its finest. It was good to get back out after 3ish months of not getting out. |

JP3 and I did the Christmas Party ride this morning and both Keg Creek and Mistletoe were in excellent condition. Not sure who has been maintaining the main trails within Mistletoe (Ken and Friends of Mistletoe? Ranger?), but you're doing a great job. Thanks.

Ditto what dsquaredmsquared said. Both trails were in great shape which made the ride that much more enjoyable. Thanks to who ever did the work.
