The anticipated and once postponed ride to Smith Creek, Mount St Helens is
again being postponed/cancelled because of snow pack issues. Even though the
trail on Smith Creek would be snow free, the road to get to the trail head is
still most likely under quite a bit of snow which would force us to hike a
bike for a few miles in snow.
So, I've decided to do the Eight Mile Loop and Bottle Prairie Loop trails
east of Mount Hood instead. I rode Eight Mile trail yesterday (for the first
time ever...) and it is in great condition.
