A day trip to Shoe Creek

Perhaps if you advertise a post riding trip to the Blue Mountain Brewery, you may sway others to attend. :beer:
 
Ty, shoot me a PM next time you're planning a trip in case I miss the post. I'm itching to try out the new winch.

Well I think Im done trying to organize trips on here as I always seem to fall through. Lol. We made it about 99% of the way to the trail only to get stopped by ice on the dirt road. I think I couls have gotten past it but with my 2yr old in the Jeep, I really wasnt comfortable taking any chances. I know 05Jeeper made it and I hope you all had fun.

We had a good time, I saw that ice hill you we're talking about. Def sketchy! We camped out last night, it wasn't icy coming in yesterday. The temp dropped super fast and the wind was whipping around 10 to 20mph. The temp in the jeep said 9 around 9:45-10:00. With the wind chill it was prob around 6. Def one of the coldest camping trips I've been on in a while. It was a fun day though!
 
Looks like a great time. I'll let you all know when I'm making a camping trip down there. Hopefully April if it warms up.

Will do. Great looking JK. :thumbup:
 
Dang...I would have loved to come along. I'm in Richmond. My wife and I were at Rausch Creek over the weekend. I'm in for the next one!
 
I had heard that Shoe Creek trail may be closed but it looks like you folks were there not too long ago. Do you know if the trail is open from the top at Crabtree Meadows all the way down to Alhambra Road?

Welcome to WAL!

Yes the whole trail is still open. I think what trips everyone up is the fact that the trail does run through private land, and there are no less than 50 private property signs that dot portions of the trail. The owners of the land and the state have an agreement that the trail will remain open (I don't have any offical sources to quote though) As long as everyone heeds these signs and doesn't fuck up the trail it should remain open for the foreseeable future. You are more than welcome to join us on our next run. :yup:
