Salem Lake Trail Status Report

Back on the trail again after my accident on Oct 6. Trail ruts continue to improve due to trail traffic wearing down the sides and filling the bottoms. Lots of fallen leaves that hide the trail and obstacles and makes passing a problem since the edges of the trail may not be visible. Broken sunlight through the trees and dead leaves on trees and ground make it difficult to see other trail users; its best not to use sunglasses while on the trail.

Helped a couple who were visiting from New Jersey who had a support bracket break on the rear fender of one of their bikes. I carry string, wire, and tie wraps for emergencies so we were able secure the fender so they could continue their ride
