Topic: Temporary closure of Boyette

[Garry]

Hey folks,
Possibly starting next Tuesday Balm-Boyette will be closed while they harvest some trees that fell during the wildfire there a few weeks ago.  It will take between 3 and 4 weeks for them to finish so access to the property will not be available during that time.

I will let you know if Tuesday is the start day or not when I find out.

Thank you for your patience while they clean up some of the mess from the fire.

at least it will give it time to dry out some...

I rode it Saturday and the trails were in pretty good shape.  The 2 track going in SUCKED.

Yeah, when I rode it 2 weeks ago the 2 track was so bad it spoiled the rest of my ride...

3-4 weeks! Thats what happens when you got county workers doing it. I bet a bunch of SWAMPER's could get it done in a couple of days. Sounds like I better ride out there this weekend.

I doubt the county is doing the actual work. It will be an independent contractor. The county will most likely get some of the money. Expect the 2 track to really be wrecked when thier done. They will probably have the 18 wheelers hauling the cut timber out. And the feller/bunchers cause quite a bit of soil disturbance. It all comes back nice though in a few months. Thanks for knocking county workers though. I appreciate it.

Some of us appreciate government employees who set the woods on fire.  Thanks.

Yep, I imagine it will look a mess when they are done.  Hopefully we can cut new and improved single track from the parking lot out when all is said and done.

Put out a request for some emergency trail building.... I'm all in!

Can someone confirm if Boyette is indeed closed today?

Garry was checking with the land manager when he gets off work today.. I would assume yes since that the last he had heard.

I assume it will have to be a 2 1 ways for the amount of traffic it will encounter
