Keystone Trail Conditions?

Wow this place got hammered by rain while we were in Fruita/Moab. Dickey, Rusty, and Nauga spent many hours at manawa yesterday weed eating, mowing, etc. Much of the trail is rideable but due to completely washed out, and still wet sections, you can't complete a loop. A few rerouts are in order, Rusty already completed a few. But there are places where you'd have to ride 20 feet through 6in deep peanut butter mud to finish a loop or connect sections. So please ride with care-- dont leave ruts. Or give Manawa another week to really dry out.

I heard that papio came over its banks in places. Is the keystone trail, all the way down south and into bellevue/hayworth park, rideable right now? Or will i find huge mud traps? I havent been farther south than cornhusker on the trail since the flood.

Keystone is fine now. There was one place by the poop plant that you need to go around but that's it.

The poop plant part of the path is now passable. Donna and I rode the trail (Hayworth park to Dem Park) yesterday and it was wide open, except for the construction here and there. And there. And there.
