I rode from my house (MM134) to Hartsburg tonight (5/6/2010). Between MM134 and MM137 there are several places where the recent rains have damaged the trail surface. The worst spot is around MM136 in front of the house with the white wooden fence. It has been completely washed out and has a rut crossing the trail about 1 to 2 feet deep and 1 to 2 feet wide. Be prepared to walk your bike through that area until the DNR people have time to fix it.
Saw Terry (the hiking guy) just west of Jeff city and met a couple hiking the entire trail at the Big Muddy in Hartsburg that said he had passed them around Coopers landing. Apparently he has blisters on his feet but that hasn't slowed him down much.
