Jungle Habitat Conditions

[Patrick]

No smoke at jungle. Could smell a bit at the bottom of skyline. Could see it from 287 and coming down skyline...

Rhino is cleared if any of the rides this weekend head out that way. Lots of sticks cleared and one deadfall.
As far as I could move it without another cut.

Also rode the reroute on cages. Easy enough to find/follow. Comes off the rock plate next to the fence

Came here to check if the fire reached the jungle.

No, the fire was over by rt23 and Echo lake rd. Kinda the other side of town

was there a lot of rain in the area? wondering what Jungle will be like tomorrow. we got a lot of rain in Bridgewater.

It was so dry that the incremental periods of hard rain probably didn't make a difference except for the problem areas.

The Air Show is this weekend, the 9-10-11th. You can use the park no problem, trails are open but parking might be a pia.
Don't let anyone charge you to park if you're riding

Any report on the trail conditions given all the recent rains?

Ryno needs a good walk through anyway, I'll get it in a couple days

Tree is gone now, low areas are wet and draining, slippery rocks, black berries, blue berries, horse flies and bears.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

slight chance, we have sodden horse flies and the bears toweling off currently

True rain forest conditions, I expect to see large reptiles and Howler monkeys living in the park soon

definitely not usual July conditions, if it doesn't rain any more it will fine this weekend. The large reptiles said they've been seeing several large black furry animals around the park

 

[V-Dub]

well I'm happy to report that the park is in great shape currently, party on

Jungle is ideal right now. Two trees down at the lower entrance to Lower Chute. No bears sighted, but I did see a pileated woodpecker.

Trails were perfect Friday afternoon. Ran into a bear toward the end of Baboon - (s)he was pretty chill. Rode Staggs for the first time and saw some interesting offshoots off of it but i need to figure out the best way to modify my normal loop to include them. Lower Chute was nice and clear and didnt see any other trees or issues.
