Tonight I went out with Mike for a ride through Mac Forest. We ended up at the top of Dimple Hill before bombing down Dan’s Trail. What a view!
Washout on Alpha Trail in the McDonald Dunn Forest
Last winter there was a big washout on the road that goes to the Alpha Trail in McDonald Dunn Forest. The washout is about 300 feet long and 50 feet wide. There is a small path around the washout although it is on a bit of an overhang. I have heard word that a bypass trail has either been built from the ridgeline trail or is on the way. Next winter I expect this to get much worse.
Nice view since all of the trees are gone in the washout.
Green Grass Hike with Melissa
Yesterday afternoon Melissa and I went out to McDonald-Dunn Forest for a hike. We went up Extendo Trail from Oak Creek Research Station and back down Endo Trail. The original plan was to try for McCullock Peak but that will have to wait for another day. At least it was nice and cool in the forest.
There is a crazy profusion of grass in the forest this year.
We saw this banana slug trucking along across a fire road. Not long after this guy, we saw another one that was twice as long. Slugs are on the move in the forest.
