      So far this trail has been closed since we moved in the are in mid July. . I’m assuming it was due to damage from Beryl

      I wonder when there be a cleanup crew for this trail. Whenever it is, count me in to help.

      Rode this trail this morning and it was mostly overgrown in many places and had a large tree that has fell in one are that you have to carry your bike around and finding the continuation of the trail after getting around was a little difficult. Lots of poison Ive in this area as well if you’re bothered by it might want to avoid this trail for a while.
