Re: Adopt-a-Road, 9-29-18
We met our commitment for the year.
One person turned out, life happens. I used the opportunity to blast through trails that I don't often visit. I found another spot that has a pile of "Trigger Trash." I'm pretty sure it is on private property, which lets it fall through the cracks of the USFS jurisdiction. ![]() For the record, I'm not sticking my hand in there. ![]() There are some cool relics nearby. ![]() ![]() A little further up from that site, I watched a UTV blast up an unmarked road. Again, probably on private property, classified as a "User Created Road." I did talk to the people for a minute, I showed them a paper copy of the MVUM and asked them if they could tell me where we were. Ummm, no. They could show me a map on their phone that showed a spur. I really need to get Avenza loaded on my phone.

Re: Adopt-a-Road, 9-29-18
One of the other spurs I visited does not get much traffic. It has a hillside with a bunch of dead vegetation and a big fire ring. It looks like a nice spot for some close range target practice. I was happy to see that it was clean.

Re: Adopt-a-Road, 9-29-18
Just below the poser ditch was a spot where people were shortcutting. Once an uninformed person sees a set of tracks going off trail, they think it's OK to drive there.
I found a lot of dead vegetation in the immediate area, posted a few Stay the Trail posters. I've done the same thing in other areas. If caught early enough, the grass will grow back and keep erosion in check. ![]() ![]() I've done the same thing in other areas.

Most of the color was at lower elevations, the wind had already stripped the leaves higher up.
Ubiquitous picture time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Adopt-a-Road, 9-29-18
I finished the day on Cascade Creek. Since both Clear Creek County and the USFS had fire and shooting bans, the "not a shooting area" had buck and rail fencing up to block access. As I passed, I noticed the grass had grown back...
I found that mildly ironic. ![]()
