Tons of trees cut down along the shoulders from around parachutes and then the whole road is blocked after pink unicorn with fallen trees. Hike a bike over tons of debris to discover Tuckster is gone (you can still ride the bottom most section). Looks like PU will get logged at the top. Top of panaramio is inaccessible.

Tearing up the already destroyed fsr even more than you already have, a week before a sanctioned event that uses the same fcking road. Nice job Mosaic.

Vehicles blocking gate and new signage saying no trespassing. Private security driving around. Is the forest company now blocking access to these roads/trails?
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
