Went for a ride at French Creek for the first time since fall due to all the rain. The trails vary
between wide hiking trails and singletrack. It used to be the charcoal producing woods for a
revolutionary war furnace that is adjacent to the park.
Went up the Boone trail, a climb of about a mile or two that is technical, starts out rooty
then gets rocky
then just gets a little of everything

there are many waterbars that mostly serve as erosion stops since it's a poorly routed trail,
straight uphill. Some are rideable, some are not

There's a set of stairs that look quite easy but they kill me. My back tire spins out every time,
can't get up more than just a few, will keep trying.

One of two critter sightings, also saw a doe and a couple of fawns but it was too dark to
get any shots
Finally lets out to some smooth singletrack
Uhh, yeah, I walked this

Then I was let down at the first of several severely dameged areas on the trail

How hard is it to understand that riding wet trails, and riding OFF wet
straight, maybe you should have stayed off the trails idiots. There were several more like this,
basically dry now, but severely rutted and ridiculously wide. Probably the same [censored] who left
all the tops of their goo packs all over the trail. Used to be one of my favorite rides, now I don't
think I'll be back for a while...
