I want to ride from McBaine to Rocheport to add a few miles to the Peddler's Jamboree. Are there any trail issues that would prevent that? thanks

The trail between McBaine and Hindman Junction is a hot mess! Both sides of the bridge have 2-3 ft of dirt washed away, big ruts, rock showing. There are 'trail closed' signs up but people are walking through.
You can take the highway out of McBaine and go around the Big Tree loop, then pick the trail back up again. Closer to Rocheport there were a couple of landslides and trees down but as of last week you could get around everything.
Last weekend I rode from McBaine to Hartsburg and there were a couple of sand pits and bumpy areas. I had to do more paying attention and less looking around. Ha ha!
Have fun!

@MB from Little Rock, I have a trail update for ya! Yesterday evening we rode from Rocheport to McBaine and the trail crews have been busy bees! You can now cross the bridge at McBaine. Yay! There are some very sandy spots before and after, and a few teeth shattering bumpy areas but it's very doable and most of it is great!

Kudos to the crews who got out there so quickly!
