Stormy	Sep 7, 2023 @ 12:51pm Sep 7, 2023
Bowfinger	Sep 7, 2023 @ 12:50pm Sep 7, 2023
Down 'N Rowdy	Sep 2, 2023 @ 1:34pm Sep 2, 2023	A bit loose and dry closer to the top, gets better once you get farther down in the trees
ORV Tie	Mar 6, 2022 @ 6:55pm Mar 6, 2022	Lots of smaller trees down across the trail at the attached GPS location
ORV Tie	May 23, 2018 @ 9:27pm May 23, 2018	Fun trail with loose rocks. Nice and wide. Couple muddy sections but the mud is easy to avoid by going to the sides. Quite fun to descend as well as climb.
