I would say more than enough , that pic really does it no justice.

Question for you though Jerry, land is owned by the conservation dept and leased to gladstone as a rec area. Do you see them giving us any grief?

Park at the end of the lot, cross the bridge and go right at the Y. Go up the hill and start looking to your right at about 20-30 yards. Rocks run parallal to the trail for a llooonnng while, getting better as you go.

If your feeling lazy just stay on the trail for another 30-40 yards and look for the first trial that dumps right, you'll know your in the right spot........ drops you right in the middle of the "Coliseum".

If you go later in the week give me a shout, i'll meet you there. Have been dying to give it a go........ have been down since the day we found it. My little addition to the rig has turned into a complete rebuild, hopefully get some time tomorrow night to finish up a little soldering and fire it up. j

Thumbs up Found another good looking spot.

Well I have been dealing with this construction zone for what seems like forever, and over the last couple weeks have noticed they seemed to be building a small parking lot. Stopped and talked to the Super last night, and sure enough they are making a trail head. I was not able to get in there yet, however from the road seems to have some real potential (scalers for sure). If its not raining after work will try to get some pics.

We designed this project. Let me see if I can get a copy of the plans.

Just went and talked to the project manager. He said that we had a trail component but it got pulled because the contractor was so SLOW. Where is the parking lot? There was not one designed with the project because of the proximity of the curve and putting a driveway there could be dangerous.

Its just SW of the intersection (gower & wacky-comis)...they have the lot in, a paved trail that goes down along the creek and supposely comes out at the creek crossing at nw 64th (nw draggett rd) so my wife says. Rocks I have been eyeball'n are between 68th and this trail.

Interesting! I will have to drive down through there and check it out. I have hiked in that area before and always liked that creek area.
