The wife and I were at Chappie Thursday, Friday and 1/2 day Saturday. First time at Chappie and the maiden voyage for our, 2016 1000s first ever RZR. We stayed on easy roads only and started with road #2 Thursday after lunch. The road had just been graded with a motor grader that day as the grader was coming down the hill as we were going in. The road was graded to a point that it looked like they were going to start logging operations. At the end of the freshly graded there were atv tracks and downed trees cut out of the road way as far as we could go. Creek crossings all good just one that was a little washed out as it looked like the pipe had been clogged but we got over it just fine. About a 1/2 mile past where trail #47 comes into #2 there is a large tree across the trail, 24" to 30", that looks like it came down after the rest of the trail had been cleared. That was as far as we got. Friday we went up road #1. At the bridge a sign said "Temporary road closure ahead due to logging operations", we went on by to see where it was closed. Just past the overlook we saw 2 pieces of equipment, 1 on the side of the road and a larger piece used for yarding the loges up the slope almost blocking the road but we were able to get around it and continue down the road with no problem. Just before Bohemotash Camp we found snow but it had been dozed out of the road. On out #1 to #27 up #27 a few miles turn around and back to camp. Only 3 motorcycles met all day. Saturday morning out #3 for a short ride and back to camp. Loaded up and headed for home. Yes there were several hundred motorcycles at camp but it was all good. Had a great time and no problems being our first time out we are very excited about what the feature holds for us and out RZR.

Thanks for the report on the trails !! It's good to hear trail #1 is ok because some told a friend that it had washed out again !!

They did a lot of work in an area that looked like it had a slide out but all is good now.

They repaired the washout on #1 when they were fighting the Carr Fire !!

This is for the most part what all the hills look like on the trail to Trinity after we drop down out of Chappie !!

Cow mountain side is burned also . The tree inclosed area where my RZR caught on firs is all gone . under the trees where we drop off the back side has no debris anymore . We had to turn around because they were logging , they look like they were almost done in that area so wit any luck we will be able to go through there Cinco !!
