The log ride to roll down or drop is getting redone. The drop never worked good ,few do this drop,so The drop has been rebuilt with better angles ,not that big of a drop but it should be fun. The roll down will be redone as well. A motorcycle has broken the entrance bridge?? This will be rebuilt asap. entrance still open. NF exit's onto the new logging road,a new ladder off the old long log ride takes you back through the canopy to the logging road. Going R. at this exit will take you either to TimeKiller(almost end of rd.) or Devils throat (3/4way down this rd.) or Left takes you back to the main access road . g Noah Fear—

We shall see if this works,otherwise slime city. In the steeeps of this area we have meshed the new ladders set into the gold.

The giant washout has been rebuilt with new ladders around this area ,onto the new big bridge. A new ending has made the trail longer. Cribbing and meshing in the steeep area's has made this trail a lot better. NOT a trail for beginner riders or in the WET. TRAIL RATED --black diamond. LOST OAKLEY--- Entrance off Mckee road,as you go down that greasy section look at water bar to the R. You will notice this trail has a rather ugly bridge over a small ravine. This bridge is really a moto cycle barrier. Up to the highest point in the trail. DJ's - a 4pak small and fun take you onto a small cedar ladder drop to a big kicker 4pak ,which leads you to "pedal2daMedal" A cribbed in booter to 15ft landing table to 8 ish drop. This is a optional line ,do part or all,or none. Lots of area's to try your skill,not a trail to be in rainy wet conditions. Steeep section meshed ,but still not a beginner trail. ToDo totally meshed,but the wall ride's like the Twisted Sis, look first.. SUMAS MTN RULE OF THUMB DH freeride trails West side of gravel road XC trails E. side KnobGobbler excellent shape. New XC trail-- EXTRA SAUCE will be simplifying the maze off Holiday Sauce,soon only onto the road for a hundred feet. (Very pretty) PrePeel open/ Emma Peel reopened through clearcut to DREW's to exit ,just above parking at gate. g Soft Taco, has seen lots of work this summer,resulting in a better,slightly easier trail.
