I rode it Wednesday and posted a picture of the salt creek crossing in both of the popular Facebook groups. It was completely dry and I rode right through. On the east side you would have to make your way around the barricade placed by the state parks. Please understand they cannot authorize people to enter private property they do not own and furthermore not condone crossing a creek which could contain flowing water….some people don’t have common sense. Some people will say this is trespassing, but I have read (I can’t prove this) that others were at a local meeting where the property owner stated he has no problem with trail users taking the very short detour that crosses one small corner of his land. By the way, there is a closed section of the trail from 40 highway at Salt Creek and about a 1/4 mile west….this allows trail users to actually access 40 to detour. If this unauthorized detour s not for you, take the highway detour or the gravel rode detour which does have some hills. Safe travels.
