Post by: Grass Janitor on March 22, 2021, 09:15:13 PM: I’m probably looking at a mid day arrival Friday as well. Traveling for work and get back late Thursday, need to get some things loaded up and it’s looking like it might not hurt to give the place a little time to dry out.

The sun was out all day yesterday. Parking lot is bone dry. Trails were in really good shape, some were dry but some had a little slip but nowhere near the mud fest we have seen here in the past. It didn’t rain here last night at all and is currently not raining. A little overcast but nice conditions for wheeling.

Is the park busy?

I haven't seen any carnage pics, so I can only assume all of you guys are just crushing the park without issue. Glad to assume everyone has the bugs worked out for CFR!

I’d say it’s about twice as busy as the average weekend.

Only carnage in our group, so far, is Tmac...she’s on the trailer

Night rides are always (never) a good idea. Power steering pump went out on 93
