Jungle Habitat Conditions

[V-Dub]

I went there today and was surprised to see the sign it is now part of Long pond Ironworks park.
Guess they have to update or combine their maps

It's been part of the Iron Works from the get go but the new sign came with the parking lot up grade a couple years ago.
The maps I can't speak for

Autumn lights festival will be held in the parking lot this Friday Saturday and Sunday. expect it to be a cluster, the trails are open but parking near the place will be hell.

Welcome to the Jungle

Moved the southern opening to Warthog back the it's original spot by the old gate,
there look for a new trail that connects all the old areas of the Jungle Junction.
Signage will be put up next week but it's raked out and ridable.

Jungle is being used as a command post for forest fire effort, expect it to be busy

Is Jungle still accessible, what with the fire? Ringwood being closed and all.
