Evidently the Goo is running over the side of the bank and down into Walker Creek. I have seen the DNR close other trails at Walker permanently to prevent threat of contaminating the creek. They say it is temporarely closed until the DNR can empliment trail erosion prevention steps. My guess is they will fill that mud pit in with rock.

was fun while it lasted.

I have seen guys get denied with 39" tires in mud holes that someone just made it through with 35" tires. Mud holes are the roulette game of the wheeling world. Hammer down and hope for the best!
