Skooks and all else who care. Rode it out and back Saturday, 7/10/04.
It's in primo condition and just recently logged out. Not much moto use at all and actually damp on the upper half from Friday night Saturday morning rains.
The rest is the wild and crazy redheaded stepchild version of DG that will still kill you if you make a bad move. Always questionable going up but a dream going down. Yes, you will get your feet wet. But, sure feels good on a hot day. Watch out for the new water bars the FS guys put in. They're still soft and grabbed one rider for an over the bars face plant.
Just thought you'd want to know after we talked about it at Tigger.

That's the beauty of today's "XC" bikes. They can climb and descend most everything a DH bike can.(broadly stated. So, don't give me Monkey grief over that.) I still ride the backside often and camp over there several times a year. You will be severely disappointed at the back side and the area around the slab on Dingbat Creek. Logging has obliterated most of the old moto trails. Thankfully, many have been ditched and are growing back. Think Freund Canyon in a few years. There's even 3 really fun descents to the back side that you shuttlers could do if you knew the way and had a 4wd or the quad with a trailer that I see up there stashed on the side spur from time to time. Most folks here probably don't know that the trail you cross on Upper Rat Pac used to be a bitchin' big ring 4.7 mile downhill. Now a logging road. But, abandoned 2 years ago and growing back to trail every year.
