Hello all,
I went up to strawberry trail today to get eyes on what the trail conditions are and how severe the fire damage is. I ended up running to a few other club members doing the same thing. The fire did have a high impact on the trail.While there are some green trees next to the trail, there are very large areas of very intents heat impacts. Large swathes of match stick like trees. We where able drive to the second switch back, several snow patches left but they will be melting quickly with the heat coming later this week. There was a only a few trees that where across the trail. The equipment from the fire did make a two blade with pass on the road. Which has effectively turned the trail into a regular native soil Forest road. A few of us walked up to where the “main” obstacle on the trail was from the , There was still snow on the trail and all of the rocks that where on the trail have been pushed to the side of the trail . As you can see in the pictures below we will have a ton of work to do. Kyle should be attending our next meeting and we will start to come up with a plan and get some work parties together.
Please exercise extreme caution traveling into the burn area and carry a saw.
If you have any questions please let me know
.
Tim
