 About 1/3 of this trail was burned over by the Freeman Fire a few weeks ago. Still rideable and worth the effort at this point. May have some...

 Lower sections are wet from snow thaw, a bunch of the higher sections are pretty beat up with cow tracks in the mud.

      I rode this CW from Gasline Bypass. The section to Painter Boy needs wheels on the dirt - I don't understand why this isn't ridden more - it's a great trail. The section from Painter Boy to the end - WHOOT! is it fun.
