       At the start of Crosscut (near Flojo) there is an unmarked, unofficial locals shooting range against a hill that is below the trail. A few people were there shooting as I rode by. Pretty alarming to say the least as this is in bounds in the recreation area. I'm sure that they are safe and smart about it, but it still felt sketchy.
      Otherwise these trails are awesome.
