Russ’s Winter Ride Report #4

The lowe gate on junction creek rd is closed, but it has been plowed up to log chutes. The lower section is packed snow or frozen mud (if you start early). After log chutes the snow mobiles have put down a solid base. If you don't have a "fat bike" put your atb tires down to 20 psi and get an early start. You'll be able to ride for miles and miles. Start early!
