Looks Awesome. Did that area get affected by the fires? How difficult are the trails?

I was just there over the weekend and the fires didn't affect the area too bad if any at all. Trail are easy to medium unless it rained a lot then the mud is really like clay ahah!

I was up there 2 weeks ago. Did you happen to stumble upon the RV near the water tank? Looked like it slid off the trail near the end of the road.

Yeah, the RV was still there, blocking the trail 100% so I've reported it to BLM but haven't had the chance to go back nor did they email me back confirming it hab been removed...
Are you saying it slid off the trail and it's now accessible?

Nope, that RV was still blocking the trail, it looked like from where I was that it slid off the trail a bit. It had clearly been ransacked. Hopefully BLM gets around to clearing that mess soon.

Anyone knows if the RV is still blocking the trail? I was thinking of heading out there tomorrow...

It's been awhile since I was last there. Did you head up that way this weekend? How's the trail?

I ended up not going and I've emailed the BLM office but no answer on whether or not the trail is clear... Bummer
