RCKRATZ 05-12-2003, 12:17 PM Just as an FYI, there was a reported 130" of snow at Meadow Lake as of 5/1:eek: 66CJdean 05-12-2003, 12:21 PM The trail is doable since we just had a few of are club run the trail from Eagle to the top of the hill before the first water xing. The water will not be crossable though I would bet but at least it will give you some wheeling if you go in eagle of go over to the cutout at fordyce but I doubt that you will be able to run much of the trail though. A thought is that you might have better luck crossing at the cutout since it is close to the the dam so it will have less runoff???

I would have to say at the earliest would be the 2nd week of June if we do not recieve any more weather and the temps stay up. Don't go up there and leave tracks and give the people watching these trails reason to support their issues to close them. The trails will be ready soon enough and the poop and trash will start piling up. No needs to give the tree huggers more reason to come down on our sport. | |
