Beautiful day and I got out for a bit
1. From McKittrick to Mokane the trail is soft but ridable on 27c tires
2. At mile mark 121 east of Steedman the farmer there has been working and his tractor has cut two ruts 4-5 inches deep across the trail. Can be ridden with caution but if unaware it is a teeth rattling experience. The driveway is about 15 feet east of the mile mark sign.
3. The bar in Steedman is showing signs of progress. When I stopped today the clean up crew was working and told me the carpenters are done and they (the cleaners) are doing their thing and will be done soon. They did not know of an opening date tho. It is looking like a nice place to stop.
