I think the trail got trashed because it was so close to Boulder and the bottom area was easily accessible by anyone with a car. It was really ugly, people were dragging all kinds of junk out there just to shoot it up with their guns. All of lead from bullets and the junk was flowing into the creek. I think the plan is to shut it down, clean it all up and make an actual parking area for trailers etc. It should be a lot nicer when it is all done and hopefully they will police it better so the trolls don't return.
The rain did make the trail a lot more interesting since the BFG KO's were just sliding all over the rocks. Rock rails and full skid plates were mandatory!
PS: I resampled my avatar picture down to 150 pix.
