| The mill at Tamarack - busy operation |
- Trail: WYE Campground - WRT - Tamarack/New Meadows
- Miles: 8.80
- Riders: Self - Lou Ann
- Horses: Jack - Rainy
- Dogs: Groot
Notes: We planned to ride Jack and Rainy in the morning and River and Drifter in the afternoon. That plan went out the window when we got back and decided we were hungry and pooped. Besides, it was trying to storm. We decided to ride the colts in the morning before going home.
After perusing various maps - we decided to ride south on the WRT to some roads/trials that take off from the WRT heading east. We missed the intended road and ended up on another farther south. This section of the trail is surrounded in private property and boy do they take their signage seriously. You were pretty limited as to where you can ride. I believe the land was bought up by an outfit out of Texas. It pretty much shut down some of the prime access on the WRT but...it's a free country and if you own it - you have the right to do with it as you please...unless the government says otherwise (don't get me started.)
The public access road did get us away from busy 95 and meandered through the timber. Beaver Creek (I believe) flowed along the bottom of the steep ravine below us. According to our maps - the road we were on was parallel with the road we wanted, but on the other side of the steep ravine and Beaver Creek. We would have chanced "trespassing" and cutting over to the other side and looping back - but the terrain was pretty much impenetrable. We doubled back the way we came.
