Just wondering about the condition of the trail from Mcbaine to Hartsburg. My buddy and I rode it on Sat. the 19th and there were a couple of bad spots at Easley and just north of Hartsburg.

Rode from Huntsdale to Hartsburg this past weekend. The trail has been scraped, but still a little rough and some washboarding. Fresh chat had not yet been laid near Hartsburg. However, it was ridable on my comfort bike, and had no problems. If you are attempting a fast ride, this section will slow you down.

Trail in both directions around Easley is rough. Lots of ruts, washboarding, and looks like some tire tracks or 4 wheeler indents. Coopers Landing area was soft with bike ruts.

This section of the trail seems to be overlooked by the DNR.....always seems to be in poor condition. I guess it's too far away from most civilization to be trim and neat. We rode 70 from Rocheport to N. Jeff and back last Sat. in the rain. This section of the trail was like riding in a swamp in many places.

Rode the trail from Tebbetts to Rocheport on July 8th. I thought DNR would have laid fresh gravel by then.....I was wrong. There were a lot of ruts just west of Hartsburg where the people that rode in the rain left their mark.

they were laying fresh gravel for several miles in that area last week
