Re: Wilson River/Gales Cr trail conditions

I've been out to WRT a few times this year, but it's been a few weeks. About a month ago we started at Jones and headed west to Keening. It was pretty muddy in spots and really started dumping so we only went in about 6 miles. We did Elk Creek to Jones and back a few weeks ago and it was stellar so I would imagine it would only be better (if that's even possible). GC was in good shape with a few trees down, but there are still some closures due to erosion control starting at mile 4ish (seasonal) and during the week they were not allowing riders past Bell Camp due to logging (although if you're obeying the signs, you wouldn't get that far anyway). Gales to Storey Burn was perfect as was the section that runs south from the SB TH. It gets muddy and rutty as it turns to Gravelle Bros. trail. Have fun.
