      Nothing special. Not sure why it’s blue.

      There is a section where you come up to a oil pipe that is diagonal to the trail direction, it creates a drop that is awkward at best. The problem is that the top soil above the pipe is all sand so definitely be careful, my brother-in-law ate it pretty good! It doesn't look that intimidating or hard but it is definitely loose sand and that's the problem

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
