Trail washout

Carl Belken from Mokane on 7/5/2009 8:22:16 PM:
We had a 4 3/4 inch rain yesterday. There is a washout at state road PP. it is not as spectacular as some I have seen in the past but the trail will be closed for awhile. I have also gotten reports of numerous small washouts near Mokane. Along Hwy 94 you can see pieces of old railroad ties that were washed out.

They are usually pretty quick about getting the trail up and running again unless there are bigger washouts that I have not heard of. In my opinion DNR is doing a better job of preventing and repairing washouts than the railroad did in it's later years.
