I was planning to go to Harlan, but with buggy in process of complete electrical rework I think it's better to do a 1-day ride here on Saturday, weather permitting as always.

I would call or check Gulches Facebook, it's dupposed to rain and if it does Skip will close.  Gulches doesn't drain very well.

Great point.... here is website message last weekend
Will check again or here is the phone number if you want
to call...... (864)449-5698 or email gulches@gmail.com


PARK UPDATES: LAST WEEKEND
Update Gulches Park 10/20 We will be CLOSED SUNDAY.
Just Too much rain so far and more to come early into
Sunday morning. I know it will be over by 11 or 12 in the
afternoon but we will be way too wet. Possibly flooded
spots on the bottom. So we are going to let it dry out
and hope for better weather next weekend.
