Rode up from scout trail. Made it half way up and there were at least 6 trees across the trail. Getting a little brush in places but not bad.

Dry but riding well. The burned areas are a little grown over and powdery but the rest of it is in perfect shape. One big tree down.

Too many trees down for my silky saw. Just over 3 miles in at the first burn scar. I’d consider the impassible for bikes until cleared.
