Here is last weekends report from Cle Elum Trails Team
Okay - here is the weekend report....
There are a lot of trees down! It might be another crazy season (like 2006). There is A LOT of snow hanging on. In fact, there is still snow at the Junction parking area. We drove two miles up Peoh Point Road before hitting impassable snow. Snow is on road 33 immediately after the Junction turnoff. You run into snow on the road immediately on Gnat Flat Road, #3330. We won’t be opening any trails until we can loop Taneum Ridge with Fishhook Flats trail which is at least a month out. Johnny Mac will be helping me push the snow line this Friday, so I will update the Twitter account (under “MOTOSHOTS”) and the Facebook Page Friday afternoon.
Yesterday I walked the 4WD321 out in Liberty. Things are drying out there fairly rapidly. We will have volunteers out next weekend working on the lower system. If I had to make a prediction, I would give three more weeks before we can consider opening the lower 4WD321-4WD319 loop.
I want to thank everyone for staying off the wet trails while we are under the Seasonal Closure. Our District is trying desperately to defend an “Open as they Dry” policy instead of a hard-date closure (June 15th). Our ability to justify this policy to those who make the decisions depends on the cooperation of our user-groups.
