Notes

The trails were wet with many deep puddles.

Several Dirt bikers were preparing for the Corduroy Race coming up.

There was a crew on KATVA property making single track trails.

About 12 Jeeps were on Bass Lake Road and the fire access road.

One Toyota SUV was driving on Trail #47

Issues:
Trail #49 is a rough trail to be classed as Intermediate level. A large puddle had a tree
lying diagonally across the water. A detour trail to the right had a fallen tree across it
that made the detour unusable. A second detour to the left was difficult, we had to cut
down two small trees to get through the detour. This trail is too narrow for S x S.

As with other patrols we have done in the 5 Points Area, people are not accustomed to seeing ride patrol in
this area. We met the senior new owner of the property on trail #50, He was pleased to see that
KATVA was patrolling trails that cross private property.
