I am surprised at the amount of water on the trail in this and the previous video. I am at Wanoka Lake campground by Iron River and not a puddle to be found anywhere except in the lakes. I left the money pit home and took the other money pit (Jeep) to check out places not ATV friendly. Going to the Mellen/Drumond area tomorrow.
What a shame that was my wife’s favorite trail, we ride it every time we’re in the winter area. From what I’ve heard the state and the forestry department decide what happens to the trails. We enjoy trails of all types, and it’s really a shame they keep filling in trails like trail 5.
It was a disappointment when the trail had been marked " challenging " for years and then to just fill all of it in with gravel. Before that the first part of the trail was fun and at the end of the day I did have a good time. It's just the idea of making everything a gravel trail then why have a sxs. I realize that not everyone is looking for a tougher trail and there are plenty of those around, but to take the ones that are rough and fill them in with gravel makes no sense to me. Thanks for watching Troy!
