Hurricane Frances Trail Report



You want to ride?  Get your loppers, machete, rake & chainsaw.  Go clean a section of your favorite trail.  Every trail from south Miami through Ocala is in similar impassable shape.  Please get involved and help get the trails re-opened.

View of 10 Mile Creek from the ridge above Big Dipper, normally a dirty little creek about 3 feet deep	This is what it feels like!	Parking lot with several inches of debris.
Big Dipper	Note previous water level	Trail near X-over
Uprooted tree.	The actual storm	Parts of the trail became the stream bed.
Before	After	Under South Bound I-95
The mini bridge in Dance has a small waterfall running through it.	Fairly typical view of the trail	One of the broken ramps in the 'New Exit Trail'
In most areas where the trail isn't flooded, you can't really make out the trail because the debris is so deep.	Raging 10 Mile Creek	More blocked trail
Blocked Trail Head	The tree at the beginning of 'Big Dipper'	More flooding
What Trail?	Somehow, 'Runway 260' made it...	except for the neck snapping vine on the descent.
The trail is still considered off-limits to riders.  These images are provided as a public service to the mountain biking community by Airborne Mountain Bike Club of the Treasure Coast.
