Does anyone know if the trail is still flooded between St. Charles and Machens? I rode about 3 weeks ago and couldn't get through.

I just rode Weldon to Machens and back on Saturday. Trail conditions are fine all the way to Machens. St Charles to Machens is probably not a stretch I will ride in the future, however. Too many little hills and twists and turns for a recumbent (on/off levy, avoiding private property). It messes with my pace.

I'm going on the trail this aft. Is this stretch as pretty as Defiance-Augusta?

No good views to speak of. Nothing you would be tempted to get your camera out for. Nice view of a coal burning power plant...
