FATS trip report

Just got back from a day at FATS.  Haven't been there in about 2 years.  Still flowy but lots of mud holes and problem areas.   If I lived closer I would help dig them out.   It will probably dry out this summer.   Makes me appreciate the volunteers that keep our local trails sloped and drained.  The area seemed to be in a drought, the lakes there were way down, maybe a few hundred yards from the beaches in some places.

None of the problem areas are big enough for you to need to walk around, many of them can be jumped over.

Dying to do FATS....seems like a perfect system if u love flow.  Hopefully can find a mate to do a mission.  Still got the Scott Kerr system first i priority.  Nice to have so many good options living here. Cool

Justin - you want in on the trip?  I will more than likely be going down fri night before and riding either it all the next day or half on sat and half on sun.  There is a chance I may take Friday off and go thurs night.

You can ride it all in a day, NP.  Could ride it all twice in a day if you like.  Just make sure you ride The Brown Wave counter clockwise (take a right) when you get there.

No extended stretches, just a few dozen mud holes.
