1 truck, 3 people, 3 hours, 9 hours, trail patrol, Chinns lake road and Fall River Reservoir road, NSF 174.10. Trail was very clean. Did not make it all the way to fall river reservoir, because the road is still blocked by snow. Chinns lake road is still blocked by snow too.

7-2-16 - 2 trucks, 7 people, 2 hours, 14 hours total Yankee Boy Basin, trail patrol, was still closed at the last switchback b/c snow, small trash but trail looked nice.

7-3-16 - 2 trucks, 7 people, 2 hours, 14 hours total, Red Mountain Mining Area trail upper section, CO-31, beer cans were deemed not historic.

Does it even count for hours if it technically wasn’t a FS or BLM road?

7-9-16 – 1 truck, 2 people, 4 hours, 8 hours total, Apex Rd, CO-4S, to Mammoth Gulch Rd, CO-4N, to Rollins Pass East/Moffat Rd. up to Yankee Doodle Lake, bottles and cans but considering the heavy traffic it was clean.

From Rollins Pass we could see the smoke from the wildfire and our thoughts go out to the firefighters and those with property impacted.

Yankee Hill and Kingston Peak. One truck, three people, five hours, total of 15 hours between the three of us.

Picked up a little garbage, talked with a motorcyclist about how to get over to Yankee Hill from Kingston Peak. Kingston Peak trail is pretty clean right now. Something needs to be done about the tundra section where people are making new trails alongside the current trail and driving across the tundra willy nilly. :rant:

Rainbow road up to Chinn's, Sherwin, and Fall River Reservoir. Road from St Marys up to Loch Lomond. Four hours on the trail, one rig, two people: Total of 8 hours.

The area around Chinn's and Sherwin is TRASHED. Someone seems to have semi-abandoned a large trailer packed with a bunch of household stuff at Chinn's lake. Lots of bags of garbage all over the place at both Chinn's and Sherwin. There was no way that I could even make a dent in all the garbage with my little truck.

The old road that the MVUM indicates as closed that runs from Loch Lomond up to the right (south) to one of the higher lakes is getting use again. I didn't go over to see if the "road closed" sign is missing but I saw Jeeps going up that trail.
