Re: [pumpclub] Re: Thanksgiving Weekend Ride Report

Been meaning to send out this. Rode Nestor Peak and Buck Creek on Sunday.
The road climb up N-1000 is muddy from hunting and logging use. Plan extra
time for the climb. There was some blow down on the trail from N-1700 to
N-1000, but the tread was firm and the climbing was fun after the long dirt
road section. The descent from Nestor was great. The trail top coat is
pretty firm still. The switch backs are covered in leaves so watch your
speed. The third switch back after the switch back sign had a low hanging
branch. Lower Buck Creek loop is in terrible shape due to water line work. I
would have rather ridden road B-1000 to the tie in to Buck Creek trail from
Melroy Saddle. The descent from Melroy had a firm top coat and was as safe
as a steep rocky trail can be.

That comment on Scappoose is what I've been looking for! I know there's not a guide or map (Nicht! Nein! Es ist Verboten!) but I've never been out there...
