Does anyone know how long it will be until the flooded areas on the trail will be ready?

Trail is open at the 151 mile marker, a little rough where water washed across trail but not even muddy.

Looks like it's back to normal - the DNR's trail conditions message is back to "No trail closures to report."

As others have indicated, it may be soft in places for a while.

I rode last week and all 4 of the closures mentioned earlier on the DNR site were open. There were some rough & rutty spots, but no detours were required. There was lots of stagnant, standing water at the edge of the trail in many locations -- and pew, did it stink!

I stopped & talked to a DNR maintenance guy who was filling in some spots -- he was friendly dude who was very appreciative when I complimented him & his crew on getting the trail back in shape so quickly.
