 Running fine. Lots of pine needles and a few cones. Seems to get little use.

      From chimney sweep right after the berm where u can see the new housing on the left there is a small track you can take to it

      You can just push/ride. Yes there is another unspoken way into it from the top that is unsanctioned.

      What's the best way to access blaster + or blaster? Looks like an unofficial track dropping over one of the berms after you come out of chimney sweep

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
