Slide at Coal Creek

Guest

FYI, G20 which is the Gravel Road between the Windmill Road and Trail 5 Playground area is closed. Pictures will self explain it. Also, Use Caution on Trail 4 near the far end. The Slide goes all the way up to that trail. The slide is still moving and being monitored at this time.

When you ride that stuff it never crosses your mind just how fragile it could be up on some of those high ridges! affraid

Also, think about if that happened to a trail after you passed it and that trail is the only way back home. Or running a trail that crosses a creek during a rainy day and on your way back its flooded---A fallen tree is the most common but in these cases a chainsaw wont do you anygood .

No, a chain saw will still be handy to cut wood for the fire to keep me warm if I have to camp out. lol!

A chain saw still wouldn't do you any good if you didn't have a lighter to start a fire, but extra 866808

would be the top item to have if you had to camp out; and it keeps you warm too. But I agree , its better to have a chain saw than not to have a chain saw.

I usually carry a lighter and I carry a hose so I can get gas out to help things get started. I have had to use light a little gas inside a tire before to get it back on the rim. Not mine of course, I have bead locks. Just being helpful on the trail to those not as "educated". Shocked
