Sourlands Mountain Preserve Conditions

[snashters]

There's still some muddy areas on the Lower trails and the second half of Chunky Monkey, but otherwise mostly dry.
The downed tree on the C trail is more user friendly now :

Rode the pipeline to Montezuma, out and back on Boulderama and then down the C-trail to the parking lot yesterday. All of it was in really good shape - thanks for making that tree more user friendly @snashters . Trails should be great until it rains again this weekend

Finally got around to emailing park rangers about the tree on yellow above.

We have a TM day coming up in early May, but it's midweek so maybe to hard to get up there. Might look at scheduling a separate one for this.

Pipeline is dry. Red Riverbed Connector trail had some soft spots but not bad. Tres Amigos was great.

Perfectly dry yesterday. Looks like someone discovered a couple nice new rock lines on 3 Amigos. Good stuff. Trimming is definitely needed and I alerted the Rangers. There's a corporate TM group coming out later this month so they'll probably help with that.

This is real I spoke with someone in the parks commission this afternoon. It is not long term. Law enforcement involved with an issue.

I rode there today. Conditions were great.

Anyone been recently? Got a corporate group coming Thursday and looking for projects. I'm assuming trimming will be needed and after today's wind, a lot of pickup sticks. Anything else?

@gmb3 haven’t been in 2 weeks but even then was starting to get overgrown! Thank you in advance!

I was just there last night aside from some overgrown spots throughout, there was a tree down obstructing the white with dot c trail- sorry I don’t have exact location. It was decent otherwise

 

[Rockbottom]

Just want to confirm that trails are open? There was a post in another local group that the JORBA site reported the park was closed indefinitely as of 6/24?

 

[Rockbottom]

My apologies. I see this was on 6/7 and temporary. I should of went through the full thread before posting

 

[gmb3]

Trails are dry even after last night's storms. Lower Trail 2 all the way out to the split is all trimmed up thanks to L'Oreal corporate volunteer day!
