Most of my upcoming posts will be cycling or paddling. I have to let my foot heal, possible stress fracture, metatarsal.

This was a wonderful little bike ride. I didn't go as far as I used to because I had other things on my list to do that day. It was the first time I'd ridden it since 2013. Nice to see it is becoming a single-track trail. The awful cinders that made it a mess to ride 17 years ago are pretty much either packed down or washed away. Local riders still remember the FS putting the cinders in, and have never forgiven them!

However, it will need some maintenance. Also, people should start riding it, to keep it open. Otherwise it is going to just disappear. The Ranger district is not doing any maintenance on it as far as I know. Maybe I should write them a letter.

I saw about 100 elk and 2 pronghorn, a male and a female. See photos.

Due to the recent rains there were a lot of ponds, and Hall Creek was running over the trail. But I was surprised to see Geneva Reservoir and White Mountain Reservoir both dry.
