Nichol and I spent this weekend at the Hurkey Creek Campground.\u00a0\u00a0 While there I got a chance to get check out some the trails that were impacted by the 2018 Charston Fire.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am used to the shock of post-wildfire landscapes but I was particulary taken back by some of the damage nearly three years later.\u00a0\u00a0 It was not all gloom because at least a couple of the trails I checked out are only a little worse for wear.\u00a0\u00a0 Others are still a complete wreck.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put notes on all the trails I checked out on my Hurkey Creek<\/a> Page. The most encouraging thing I saw was the Johnson Meadow trail as it was minimally impacted and is pretty good shape.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most disheartening thing is the Keen Camp climb as maybe 50% of it is rideable and it will require a lot work to get it functional again.\u00a0 Without this trail there is no practical way to loop the trails together from Hurkey Creek Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did see some flagging in the Keen Camp climb corridor so hopefully there is some work planned. I don’t know about you but I would down to help out with that effort. I hopento chase down if something is indeed in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
